Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Murkowski was waffling on Tanden's nomination. The DNC simply didn't pay her enough or promise no serious challenge in 2022 election. However, Tanden isn't going away as she'll be back in another position in the WH. They need her. I keep wondering when the Nobel Prize winner nominees will be appoint...

There is no one "DD" - so, not surprised that Northrup has their own. However, IF they are indeed using a DD (which I am assuming based on what I posted), then it better include UAI - no matter how old or recent. UAI is just a weapon's library - a set of look up tables. Please discard the...

It will provide a standard for an API, electrical, and mechanica...

So the ER variant will be for USN and USAF on the F-35A and C, or also on the B? I would guess then that USN has been funding development on the AARGM-ER and has an acquisition budget for it too. For NG it would make sense to see if these load up on the B-21 as well. With a larger warhead and range,...
