  • Several aircraft returning from New York flew with only a fifth of the tickets sold, and at least one flight during the past week departed with fewer than 35 passengers on an Airbus jumbo A380 jet that ordinarily seats close to 500.

    The Onion: "With the sudden rising cost of aviation fuel, Emirates Airlines, rolls out new program to reduce the weight of flights to increase fuel efficiency and lower the fuel consumed per flight."

  • No... no its not.

    There definitely isn't enough time to build out the facilities to ramp up production. These aren't fin stabilized bombs. These are very technically advanced doohickies and require lots of specialized equipment, personnel, and facilities to manufacture.

    Most of these munitions are going to require a network of radar installations to have any shot of functioning, everything from early warning to target acquisition. Having more munitions but them being blind... is a bit of a problem.

    As munitions get low, the launchers are going to start showing signs of wear and tear, being damaged in attacks, or being outright destroyed. So having more fancy missiles stops being useful. Maybe its easier to build more launchers than the missiles but if the USA is balking at having more manufacturing capacity for the missiles why wouldn't this also apply to the launchers.

    All the while, somebody has got to figure out how to get all the stuff from the USA or Europe to the Western Asia area to be installed in the countries who are being attacked by Iran and other resistance groups. With Iran and those other resistance groups being pretty open about why these USA aligned countries are being attacked, "Stop working with the USA/Israel, who are attacking us, and we will leave you alone." At some point, the math is going to work out for some countries where "Hey, the USA has already failed to protect us once when they had all sorts of fancy radar installations, launchers and munitions for the launchers... now that they are rushing to rebuild the radar sites, launchers and munitions... why not take those resistance groups up on their offer of "we'll stop the attacks when you stop letting the USA/Israel do {insert thing here} on your country's soil?"
