Jesus!
WW2 was a batshit crazy time in history.
Supposedly Jews fought fought for Hitler while he was gassing their kin. He had African soldiers in German Army units while his soldier would kill captured African soldiers without second thought.
And now I'm see the fucking SS going native doing that Special Forces "combat multiplier" shit before it was cool?
WW2 was pure insanity. Even worse. It was an ideological war that had very flexible ideas apparently.
Kinda makes the mess we're in look simple in comparison.
Note: Watching this gif of an SS general partaking in prayer rituals has me fucked beyond description. How could anyone know this shit happened? Who would even suspect that it was even possible?

Seems as if certain "big" investors and a few well placed insiders are starting to shed stock.
We think of defense programs as being about protecting a nation(s). Wall Street only cares about money and don't care one bit about the survival of the West in a fight against China.
If the money is fleeing then what is the cause?
Is this the first indication of bad news coming out of Lockheed Martin?

DARPA admits that "platform stealth" is reaching its limits...
Misplaced the name of the defense writer that found this juicy little nugget hidden away in a DARPA assessment of US air power.
The relevant passage?
"More fundamentally, platform stealth may be approaching physical limits."
I guarantee that has been scrubbed and tailored for distribution to the public. I remember reading as long ago as 2010 that stealth had reached its limit and that electronic warfare and exotic solutions were the future (this is also the time when we first got word of "plasma stealth" from Russia).
What's going on behind closed doors?
I'm betting that assessments have already been made that stealth as done in the F-35 and MAYBE even the F-22 is dead...certainly in the F-35 which seems to lack the refinement of the F-22.
The evidence is overwhelming.
Raytheon, SAAB and others have already said that they have radars that can detect stealth. Computing power continues to increase so working out firing solutions with what we could consider limited data is improving too...even without GAN AESA.
The F-35 is gonna need a plan B. The idea that it will actually achieve first look first kill when it enters service after 2020 is already in doubt.
