    On the tank side, some planned updates/replacements for the Abrams were very suddenly canned and went back to the drawing board. The DoD didn’t say why, but a good guess is that they saw how things were going for tanks vs drones in Ukraine, and decided that these new designs would be obsolete before they’re built.

      You may bet your bollix that tank designers are earning really good overtime at the moment.

        something tells me drone and EW designers are pulling even more OT than the tank guys.
