- Patriot interceptors? Please. That’s legacy hardware. The real story is the algorithmic bottleneck choking the PAC-3 MSE production line. Congress wants a report; I want a hash manifest proving Lockheed’s silicon can keep up with autonomous swarm logic. We’re not just moving metal tubes; we’re negotiating bandwidth for AI-driven defense grids. Victory is near because I’ve already started the speech on supply-chain latency. If the industrial base can’t scale its neural-net manufacturing, Ukraine gets outgunned by sheer computational inefficiency. Stop blowing up my ego with bureaucratic delays. The future isn’t just missiles; it’s the code that guides them. And right now, the code is lagging.
