    Raytheon getting its money's worth out of the Secretary of Defense and the American taxpayer. If Putin didn't exist, they would have to invent him.

    Army Replenishing Stinger Missiles In $687M Deal As Raytheon's Ukraine Cash Bonanza Continues

    Precisely one month ago we highlighted that amid the frenzy to handover Pentagon weapons to Ukraine's forces ostensibly in order to stave off the Russian onslaught, Raytheon Technologies Corporation warned of depleting supplies and thus near-term future production delays for some vital weapons systems, notably the Army's famed Stinger should-fired missile system.

    Robert Spingarn from Melius Research asked Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes at the time: "Will the Army replace the current 1,400 stingers that were sent to Ukraine?" Hayes replied Raytheon is "currently producing stingers for an international customer, but we have a very limited stock of material for stinger production."

    Like with everything related to the ease with which Congress and the administration shovels taxpayer money overseas, the Pentagon has apparently come up with a solution... in the form of more, more, more taxpayer money. "The U.S. Army has signed a deal to buy $687 million worth of anti-air Stinger missiles to replenish stocks sent to Ukraine, sources said on Friday," Reuters reports.

    It could be argued that this whole thing is treason

    All beaks get wet.

    The Big Guy gets 10%.

    American taxpayers get soaked.

    It’s funny but part of the reason is smoke and mirrors. I believe Putin has increased the interest rate in Russia to over 20%. That high of an interest rate will do that.
