To much money to be made. The industry is big in America and they need clients.

"Not only does the manufacture and sale of firearms and hunting supplies create good jobs in the United States, but the industry also contributes to the economy as a whole. In fact, in 2021 the firearm and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $70.52 billion in total economic activity in the country." That's just IN America maybe?

yep, you dont people watch and listen to normal people?
Its not even mentioned on the normal TV news anymore. You have to catch the late night world news and its barely mentioned. Nobody is chatting about it in convo like everyone was months ago. Just wondering if its the same everywhere or if its still being driven as news there.

It was largely pneumatically controlled and carried an 1800 lb warhead at 400 MPH using less than 800 lbs of thrust with a simple fan at the front counting revolutions and thus distance it had a magnetic compass for directional control. In a drone the fuel tank is always over the CG so as the weight decreases it doesn't upset the trim, here too.

Since the war in Ukraine business is booming among all allies and Xi is helping business too, they should pay these clowns a fee for the business they drum up. They ain't gonna buy Russian shit, nobody is, the Europeans make great weapons, but they are rather tied up now too.

America is always at war and destabilizing countries so its always a booming (pun intended) business. War is big business and always has been for suppliers.


"Defence stocks have outpaced the global market this year by the most in almost a decade, on expectations of higher military spending by western governments and as ethically minded investors re-evaluate the sector. "

humor aside, I can’t comment. I don’t even watch news.
