America is putting the Israel-designed and -made Trophy APS on the Abrams. Why can't 56%land make first-rate equipment anymore, Jow Forums?

>Israel can use equipment that the U.S. has spent billions on
>but we can't use equipment Israel has spent billions on
Moshie plz.
It's the best APS out there, far superior to Afghanit
USA is using tons of foreign stuff for decades. Remember Beretta or FN?
With all the aid we give Israel, we better get to use the toys they produce with it.
America is free market, asshole. Their government contracts from companies not state funded research facilities. Israel is an ally America and is probably powerful enough to shitkick the entire Chinese military.
Why the fuck wouldn't America work with them?
The more niggers and shitskins infest a country, the less competent the society becomes. That’s why you can’t even order food at a restaurant without a major fuck up these days. The day is coming when the US will never design a significant piece of technology again. Of course, neither will anyone else. Welcome to the new dark ages. I hope you like rhythmic grunting and jiggling shitskin turd cutters on MTV because that will be the highest point of the new globalist society.
lol stop going on Jow Forums and go outside

Looks like the blue inert kits are giving the finger
Because our dear congressfaggots get riled up any time we try to develop something new, and it'll inevitably be canceled by some busybody shitstain trying to cut costs.
I like the cowcatcher
God this makes me angry.
>implying Israel wasn't spending American money developing it
How much aid do we send them every year again?
allies share technology and equipment with eachother. More news at 11
Trophy Abrams are also really good looking
at least $3 billion per year, goy.
>its still not enough
His views were informed by going outside, try again numbnuts
Much of that is really aid to American defense contractors as much as it is aid to Israel, though, since it's in the form of buying shit from American companies and then sending it over there.
tbf all four of those vehicles weight 72 tons, and a lot of the less sexy parts of FCS (like mission command) ended up getting fielded under other names.
Also, that gun turret looks exactly like the MGS turret, which fucking sucks.
This isn't FCS, and supposedly the Abrams block III that was described in the ASM program was planned to be a good bit lighter than the M1A2. My point was that any time we develop a new piece of hardware, it's either scrutinized obsessively by people that have no business doing so ( congress) or cancelled because the DoD wants some retarded new warfighting strategy that ends up stunting our forces for a decade.
