Fallout Re: The tank that really never was

I'm not saying a word here that I haven't said for years now about ARMATA. You can add the BOOMERANG to that list well as it CURRENTLY looks. It's the T-95 all over again.

What I think is we have them in and unless something does actually come along, and you need the slots you can consider putting on the "chopping block" then.

I've also said for years that the 2025/2026 Submission Campaign would act as the way to "clean up" those OOB's that have equipment that never saw the "light of day" that's my plan but some have already identified themselves to me for instance HIMARS to Australia and CHALLENGER 3 for the UK.

All we can is track these things until either the trail goes cold or we're closing in on the quarry.

Regards,
Pat
