I just want another Aliens vs Predator video game. Those 3-way multiplayer matches were so fun.

Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.

Paradox has recently gotten hammered on their recent releases, both Golden and Early Access. I wonder if that was part of the reason.

Just like Y to post a click bait, non-informative post. Here’s an article that has more info.https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2280460/shockingly-inept-us-missile-defense-system-had-75-failure-rate-in-iran-attack-on-israel.html

The rate is only for SM-3 missiles that targeted ballistics. Israel also had significantly fewer targets and better preparation for their interceptions.

Do you want current regime or it’s history? Because… Lol if you think that number is 0 for either.

It’s likely he pulled it out of his ass, much like a lot of the headlines he throws up.

The mission-capable rate is 55 percent, but that definition is for a single-task mission. Considering the F-35 is meant to have multiple missions, the report is a bit damning on the supply issue. However, the report is meant to highlight the issues so that the military can take over supply and maintenance in 2027. And a lot of the issues are lack of supply and depots for maintenance.

The $1.7 trillion is an estimated cost over the lifecycle of the entire F-35 fleet of 2500 planes. The F-22 first flew in 1990 and entered service in 2005. So 20-30 years would be a decent lifecycle. The math for the F-35, using 20 year lifecycle, comes out to about $65 billion/yr for 2500 planes or $26 million/yr per plane. Part of the report is also providing recommendations on lowering maintenance costs.

It’s still a lot of money, but when we’re talking decades, we need to put that into perspective when healthcare spending in the US is $4.5 trillion per year.

About time. Maybe the maps will be updated correctly and people can now see just how pathetic those ISPs have been.
