@actualjib I’d rather have a kinetic counter drone capable of flying with fiber optic

See? Told you interceptor drones could be done well.
MORFIUS is not the first of its kind, by the way.
Lockheed Martin@LockheedMartin
The MORFIUS™ X-Rotor is a portable, cost‑effective counter‑drone system that can neutralize up to 50 enemy drones in a single mission. Designed for rapid reuse and rapid deployment.

JUST IN: Iraq signs 48 deals with U.S. companies worth over $60 billion, including a pipeline project aimed at bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.

I told you guys to go into making drones.

The Pentagon has proposed the biggest defense budget in history for 27: $1.5T, a $500B increase from 2026. 85% of the increase is in procurement, i.e., the production of new weapons and munitions; a desperately needed ramp-up if we are going to fight a war with China. Supply chains win wars.

@BenStiller @PatMcAfeeShow @JJWatt Crazy interaction considering I watch “ The Watch “ 2 nights ago on an airplane 😂
Thank you man, NY IS AWESOME!

Not Proud of it, man enough to say it.
I had breakfast this morning in Greenwich Village NYC and a man sat next to me on his own.
Somebody I idolised growing up watching NFL. But out of respect ( like a scared little girl ) I didn’t even ask for a picture.
Not proud of it, man enough to say it.
Have a great day in New York @JJWatt

The US has a major missile defense crisis. The Patriot and THAAD interceptors work but are far too costly and time consuming to make.
We need startups building scalable cheap interceptors—ideally space-based directed energy so the marginal cost to kill is zero
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM
CENTCOM Statement on Recently Fallen, Missing U.S. Service Members TAMPA, Fla. — On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing. Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty. Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified.

@canyon247 @BenMcCombe @MikeSchuler Yeah the political mouthpieces say that, but the actual professionals in charge of ensuring their comrades dont decorate a thousand feet of land say otherwise, including the offending pilot himself. This left him shaken cause it was a genuinely scary mistake from him.

Hey look, rational accountability. How hard is that?

For those claiming the Blue Angels incident yesterday was perfectly fine, here is their lead pilot, Captain Adam Bryan, saying it was unsafe and that they will work to make sure it doesn't happen again. Listen to this guy, not Hegseth or his PR guy. I'm glad the people who matter are taking it seriously.

I was on the upper deck pictured during this GA tech fly over in Downtown Atlanta on Nov 7 2010. It was crazy to experience and I only found out years later the pilots were reprimanded

The flyovers will continue until morale improves.

@RealPETE2020 Some truck driving asshole with a small dick overcompensating behavior. See this shit all the time in Texas . Thankfully not too much here in Austin every third car here is a trashbox Tesla though.

@Molson_Hart Too late for drones. Several big players already winning contracts and advancing in competitions

I told many of my friends to start manufacturing drones in the USA, if they wanted to make money.
Good opportunity for people who have manufacturing and product design experience who got wiped out by China and Amazon.
$200 billion up for grabs.

@LoganARobison The Walton family is at least 3 generations deep at this point. It’s not inconceivable they made this trip and why is it a big deal. You’re just pocket watching

Pretty crazy if true
Allegedly, one of Walmart’s private jets flew from Olbia (Sardinia, IT) to Rogers, AR at the end of June.
Walmart operates no stores in Italy and Olbia is a popular getaway location for the rich and famous. I lived in Sassari (~1 hr away) for 6 months
When I worked at Walmart, word on the street was that if you’re a C-Level executive, you get some (limited) access to Walmart private jets for personal use
Imagine flying private to your Italian vacation on Walmart’s dime

.@neros_tech just won a $500M-ceiling US Army contract for its Archer FPV drones.
CEO Soren Monroe-Anderson (@soren_ma) on why scaling drone production is the hard part and why very few are doing it well.
"I think a lot of drone companies or just a lot of companies in the defense tech space sort of claim that they're ready to produce at scale when they're not, like they haven't proved it...
And so a lot of the IP is how we build drones, how we test drones, how we design drones for testing, for reliability, for manufacturability, all of the data we've collected is we've built tens of thousands of drones. These are things that you can't just like drop in and replicate...
Like it's really not that hard to put together an FPV drone and go demo it and even get like a contract off of that. It's consistent scale production that's hard."
Tectonic@tectonicdefense
The FPV phenoms at @neros_tech are on a heater. The drone startup snagged a $500M-ceiling US Army contract for its Archer FPV drones under the Purpose-Built Attritable System (PBAS) program, with orders for thousands already placed against the contract. tectonicdefense.com/neros-lands-ar…
