    Drone shot down

    Trump claims shot down on in international waters , Iran claims it was over restricted air space. Wonder what the repercussions will be.

    Well, Northrop Grumman will get another order? That puppy went out the door @ $220m without all the options.

    Tonight the NBA draft is being held for the stars of tomorrow.

    You should work out your fantasy defense contractor lineup. It’s never too late. There is always another war and defense star.. It’s not like the old days where America would be at peace for a few years.

    Myself, I’ve always been a Raytheon guy but they got bought out and I am a free agent now. Who’s your favorite?

    Saw the stock guys talking about DRIPs. RTN had a great DRIP too.

    If you invested in NOC 5 years ago you’d be up 150%.

    Is that what you’re looking for? Tulsi Gabbard needs your support.

    136m down the drain but i want to see who ends up with the wreckage. iran are so fucking good at RE'ing our miltech, if they start dragging this thing through the streets it means 1) it was over their territory and b) in 3 years, israel is going to be seeing these more than birds.

    You’re prolly looking at the base price without the chrome and air conditioning.

    220m package comes with a regulation compliant coffee mug.

    this is said to be an Iranian drone picked up in Yemen. if true, I hope all can see the logic of asymmetrical warfare. $180m vs <$5k.

    if we escalate I would like to hear of Iranian patrol ship sinking. 2 Virginia Class fast attacks sit and wait 18 miles offshore. first 2 armor piercing fish steered to create 3 sinking segments. next 4 high explosive fish to detonate shallow.

    WASHINGTON—Maintaining that the unmanned aerial vehicle was simply going about its day without posing a threat to anyone, U.S. Department of State officials claimed Thursday that one of their drones was minding its own business on its way to church when Iran attacked it out of nowhere. “This was an outrageous, unprovoked attack by the Islamic Republic of Iran on an innocent drone who merely wanted to attend mass in peace,” said acting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, emphasizing the drone’s upstanding moral character by pointing out its history of donating to charity, volunteering at soup kitchens, and making homemade cookies for school bake sales. “We’re talking about a drone that sings in the church choir and coaches little league baseball games on the weekends—an absolute pillar of the community. This is an upstanding family drone who did nothing to deserve any sort of attack. What kind of world do we live in where an innocent drone can’t fly through Iranian air space on its way to church?” At press time, Department of Defense officials confirmed that their request for Iran to return the drone’s body back to the U.S. for a proper burial had gone unanswered.
