@Gaurab: You are mistaken. There was no $8.8 billion investment into Holston, that award was the renewal of the operating contract, which has a base period of 10 years and a $8.8 billion ceiling.
There have undoubtedly been challenges with scaling explosives production there, but the US mostly uses TNT for things like artillery. The quantities of RDX, HMX and IMX made there have been adequate for what it has been required for (mostly aerial munitions).
Holston isn't going to be a point of immediate failure because stocks of things like Mark 80 series and SDB are very deep. They don't need to massively ramp up tomorrow to sustain new production of aircraft munitions for Epic Fury.

@realWayneWade: It's an illustrative image. The Mark 80 series have been around for decades, but are not used as dumb bombs anymore. They are always used with guidance kits like JDAM, or Israel's SPICE.

Nothing seems to anger the top of the U.S. administration more than a reporter daring to ask about Russia openly carrying out hostile actions against the United States.
(Well... maybe except reporters daring to ask questions about Epstein.) https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/2030055448150262139#m

A police investigation has officially established that Russian special services were sending sex toys packed with explosives across Europe. 22 suspects identified.
One such package caught fire at a DHL depot near Birmingham on July 22, 2024, while another ignited at a logistics center in Leipzig. https://twitter.com/DailyMail/status/2029982085771931955#m

RT @Teoyaomiquu: So let me get this right:
1) Spain doesn't want its territory to be used in this operation it gets an embargo from the USA
2) russia is helping Iran kill Americans by providing targeting information - it gets sanctions lifted https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/2030056260805042338#m

@BenoitTravers: Not aware of one. Between active FMS cases and DCS over the last 10 years it's around $60 billion though, compared to $33 billion in FMF over the same period.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 I see a lot of people's eyes popping over these 12,000 1000-pound bombs.
It's nothing compared to the *35,500* 2000-pound bombs approved for sale 1 year ago. Some of those bombs may be getting dropped on the IRGC as we speak. https://twitter.com/ColbyBadhwar/status/2030108425816879303#m

RT @andrii_sybiha: A horrific scene.
Russia struck a residential building in Kharkiv, killing at least seven civilians, including two children. First responders continue to search for people under the rubble.
Russia is a terrorist state.
There can be no easing of restrictions against Russian murderers while they continue to kill Ukrainian children in their sleep.
No easing of sanctions or bans at international sports and culture events.
The regime in Moscow not only terrorizes Ukraine, but it also spreads terror throughout the world. It helps Iran murder and destroy. It strengthens the DPRK and its ability to threaten the region.
Pressure on Russia must be increased in order to restore a lasting peace for Ukraine and for the sake of international peace and security.
