That's loser speak. Numbers always matter and anyone who denies that is trying to sell you something. Software and technology updates can be applied to any ship, especially one of the dozens to hundreds the Chinese can crank out.

The leadership culture started becoming toxic in the late 90s early 2000s and new efforts to reform the officer leadership pyramid may be too late. Too much kick down culture.. possibly even worse in the NCO corp.

IMHO pay is also way to low to retain lower ranks..need more career pay rates.

That munition was a new missile launched from the ground that can hover near a potential target waiting for the go-ahead to strike, but the Army wouldn’t say much about the weapon.........”

There is almost no hardware evolution let alone revolution being displayed at Advanced Warfare Experiments (AWEs) A quadrotor lifting a 50lb box. The local RC shop could build this so called UK super innovation for logistics.. r u sssh-ing me.. These drones on Strykers is half a joke which would last less than 10mins.
The AWEs are on the contractors dime and they rightly are not risking much for such dysfunctional aquisition sys.

These Futures people are so FoS. Until the there is real RD&TE money spent, selected winners, yes bias toward concepts which makes sense not trash over the transom from the government capturing majors who also risk nothing then 0 innovation which is where we are now for ground forces.. Troops on the ground, as usual, forgotten.
