say this just now.   Feels like a continuation of many points in this thread.  Should be free, and I am curious for comments about both potential efficacy and the possibility that developing this might free up more older munitions for the Ukraine (doubt it given pace, but always looking for hope)

One old munition that seems to be getting freed up is the Hawk Anti Aircraft missile.  Apparently there is something like 40,000  of the lying around NATO and work is afoot to get to Ukraine. Hopefully it is true, While it is OLD technology, it still works and apparently should work well against what Russia is sending against Ukraine.  i would think it is generally a better weapon than the Patriot and much cheaper for most purposes in Ukraine.

A question for those who know more about this stuff.  We talk all the time about he GPS system, and how to jam it etc.  China and Russia both have their own GPS systems and I assume their weapons track on their systems.  I hope/presume we are more than capable of jamming their systems.  Makes me dizzy to think how many satellites are running around up there over our heads.
