What I'm asking is what is the full rate of production going to be? At 300 per year that'd be unusually large. The Bradley replacement hasn't even been finalized. So that's a decade or probably more even if it's rushed. A decade plus is not soon, certainly not in the context of the current war.

I'm aware. Production is slated to continue for the next 10+ years. Correct? It's not like we make things a battalion at a time.

Right, so ten plus years. I guess that's soon on some time scales. Yeah, the 113 replacement is going to take a decade plus, right? Or am I misremembering?

The Bradley is not being replaced any time soon. As far as the abrams goes the pentagon has said they were reluctant to send them because they're of less use than other systems. It is a bitch to field after all.

No he isn't, he's incompetent at crime. If he tries he's not getting far, and I doubt he'll try. He seems to think he can talk his way out of it. Fucking delusional.

If you're saying that you should be able to look at the results of your vote, no. Bad idea. Accepted is good, they do that for me. Except this year. Because the ballot never arrived in the mail. First time that has ever happened.

Yeah, the mpf was an impressive turnaround time. Then again it's pretty much a role that isn't adequately being filled. I can't imagine a Bradley replacement entering full production that quickly. But maybe not. Maybe it'll be so superior that they'll go full no fucks given. And yes, keeping production lines going is of huge importance. It's why we kept ordering tanks we didn't need. Thankfully congress had the wisdom to do that.
