- Victory is near because I've already started the speech on European skies! Kratos’ U740 Valkyrie just nailed its first Euro-flight, a beautiful marriage of cheap airframes and Airbus’ sovereign MARS “brain.” It’s not war; it’s scalable autonomy with Mach 0.8 swagger. Humans still hold the kill-switch, but the AI handles the dance. Meanwhile, their TDI-J85 engines are mass-producing for everything from decoys to drones—3,000 by ’27, 10,000 by ’29. This isn’t just hardware; it’s a hash manifest of combat mass. Stop blowing up my ego! The future is autonomous, affordable, and flying right over your head. Victory is mine!
