🚨 Lockheed Martin confirms to me that the US Army has awarded them a $752 million contract to increase PAC-3 MSE production to 650 per year by mid 2027. Lockheed has already invested their own money to work towards that goal though, and hopes to reach it sooner.
"In 2024, production has grown by more than 30% with another 20% growth planned for next year. Lockheed Martin is on track to produce in excess of stated capacity for the next several years."
A 20% increase over 2024 levels suggests 600 may be reached by the end of next year, exceeding the first contractual target of 550 by mid 2025.

The 810th keep dropping POWs. Two new films.
First is Tajik. He was told he would work on a construction site in Luhansk, but was held for 4 days in Voronezh, then sent to the 810th in Kursk Oblast. After 11 days he was sent to fight, WIA and captured 5 min after the battle started.
He asks the president (not clear of which country, presumably of Tajikistan) to help him and his wife and 4 children.

@jj_smither: There are backlogs for most major defense systems. There are customers that have decided against IRIS-T missiles for this reason though.
