I am grumpy. stayed after AA for more AA. So, fr, not trying to be. An airport =/= bus stop. Airports are huge and expensive. Frankly what's needed is better drones and smarter managers in logistics for this specific point. I will also concur that, generally, innovative phases proceed big growth Im just not seeing any innovation *within the stated timeframe* What im seeing is old ass tech (ai, for instance) finally being utilized by the broader economy. Thats the phase you're waiting for. The one I alledge we are currently ending now. Unfortunately, if im right - inside this time frame we have seen almost zero new innovation. Just application/growth. That'd mean the next part is red bro :) Oh wait I just re read that bit. Youre saying that technological ... uh... ingress into a broadening consumer base will next drive innovation. Huh. Maybe. I dont think anyone in Brazil or khasakstan who has a cell now didn't in 2019, but I think it as an expanded point not just acutely that product in those markets. So... We seem to generally agree on how shit rolls, just not on where its at right now and why.

The US isn't running escorts because they aren't prepared or ready, they simply lack the ability.\ Their Navy procurement managed to fuck up 3 ship designs in a row, the LCS, the Zumwalt and now the Constellation. There hasn't been a ship designed in the US since the early 80's, the Arleigh Burkes. Now, they are good ships, but old and unable to be upgraded further. Not enough hull space nor power generation. The problem is that it isn't WW2 anymore, or even the 80's. Navy ships rely on overlapping AA bubbles and the ability to maneuver to stop/avoid incoming attacks, that's why the Navy has stayed out of range. The strait is only 21 miles wide at the choke, with the safely navigable channel for deep draft vessels being 2 miles, although that is with a big security margin. So, there's no room for several destroyers, at least not enough to get a decent overlap. The mountain range starts only 30 miles inland, so it's not as easy as securing the shoreline. The short range to the mountains means the Burkes radar won't pick up any drones or cruise missiles coming in low. This will probably mean that the escorts will need to be constantly at GQ, and probably weapons on auto. If they have to do that, air support goes out the window. There's so much EW going on in the area that the risk for friendly fire would be unacceptable. Besides, the US Navy only has 74 of them. And like all military units they are meant to be on rotation of 1/3 at sea, 1/3 for refit/resupply crew rotation and 1/3 in drydock for heavy maintenance. The problem is that the Navy has run an insane OP tempo, and every single ship is way, way overdue for maintenance. And then something that few consider. Missiles are fired from a VLS cells. A cell can contain a tomahawk, or a various amount of AA missiles, with the smallest being 4 to 1 cell. The Burkes has 96 VLS cells, the Ticonderogas has 126. But they can't reload at sea, the cells are between 5.3m to 7.7m, need cranes. In other words, the ships will be hideously vulnerable to oversaturation. They can track up to a 100 targets or so, but they can only illuminate 3 at a time for the older missiles. The newest SM6/SM2 can aquire targets on their own, kinda, so perhaps 12 targets at once can be engaged. So, if 40 drones, 10 speedboats, 5 USV and a couple of ballistic missiles show up... See the problem?

Delta and AA are already down 20-30% YTD.  Considering how many of those customers are business, or on the good side of the K-shaped economy, you could make an argument they're oversold at this point.  Like shorting cruise lines towards the end of the pandemic.

One of the advantages of shahed drones is that they are so slow and low altitude that AA and interceptor aircraft have a hard time targeting them. Fighter jets can’t go slow enough to shoot them down.

Option 2 is functionally impossible. The strait is like 20ish mile at the choke point, but the channel actually _useable_ by deep draft vessels is only 2 miles or so.  The mountain range is only 30 miles from shore, the flight time of missiles will be counted in minutes. Nowhere to maneuver, not room for several destroyers so no overlapping AA bubbles. Plus the convoy will be moving slow as shit, a Suezmax or Panmax isn't known for their ability to haul ass.

The fact you think the navy didn’t see combat in OEF/OIF shows how little you know. 1. If they think they’re going to lose the island, they’re going to destroy the airfield. 2. Even if the airfield is captured intact, it’s well within range of tube artillery to destroy it, let alone missiles. 3. You think they’d just left C-130s land on that field(if it’s even big enough for such large aircraft) and unload supplies without being swarmed by drones and artillery at the very least? 4. Cargo aircraft flying at low altitude such as landing at an airfield are extremely exposed to anti-aircraft fire such as MANPADs, and considering they still have hundreds of FIAC they can encircle the island with FIAC, and a few iglas per boat and swat whatever supply aircraft we land 5. The fact you’re focused on landing aircraft on an airfield proves your ignorance on the subject, the safest most effective method of resupply in this situation would be high altitude airdrop. Aircraft is out of MANPAD range, cargo would have no heat signature for the MANPADs to lock onto to destroy, however the FIAC do often 23mm AA guns so if they can be notified of the drop, they could potentially shoot the shit out of the drops shredding the chutes slamming things into the ground and destroying whatever was dropped or just hitting the supply pallets and destroying the contents directly, but regardless a significant amount of the supplies would likely land in the gulf being lost to the troops who need and possibly being retrieved by the Iranians. 6. E-4 thank you very much, regardless i clearly understand modern warfare significantly better than you do.

> Five US Air Force refueling planes hit in Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia It seems like Iran is specifically targeting refueling planes. Aircraft carriers have to stay far away from the shore to avoid being sunk by hypersonic missiles. By the time fighter jets reach land, they typically only have 30 minutes or less of fuel left before they have to turn around. By targeting refueling planes, Iran can remove a ton of fighter jets from the fight. On the other hand, the US denies that Iran was able to shoot down the fuel tanker and American media doesn't quote the part where Iran says they shot down the plane. > “The loss of the aircraft was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire,” U.S. Central Command said. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/13/us-kc135-crash-iraq-iran-threats-shipping-attacks.html Indian media cites the Iranian version of the story as well as the American one. > Iran's state media has cited the spokesman for the Central Headquarters of Iran's Military to claim that the US military refueling plane was shot down by a missile fired by resistance groups in Western Iraq https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/us-military-plane-crash-in-iraq-iran-claims-6-dead-pentagon-denies-attack/ar-AA1YwtGT

Have you noticed that there are 0 American Navy vessels in the strait?  The battle groups rely on thickening their AA coverage by overlapping their bubbles. They also require space for evasive maneuvers. If you haven't noticed, the Houthis are still keeping shipping away from the red Sea. Sailing in the strait would mean that response time for a missile would be cut down to nothing. They would be forced to sail at GQ the whole time, keeping their systems on auto which would mean no air support. TLDR: No, the US cannot keep the strait open with the Navy.

What the hell is wrong with the military knowledge in this sub? You don't equip ships with Patriots.  One patriot battery consist of one bigass radar, one CC vehicle and 8 launchers. _if_ you could fit that on a, presumably civilian, ship you would have 32 missiles. Two interceptors are fired at each target, giving the ship in question the ability to stop 16 targets for a combined cost of $72M for the missiles. I said presumably civilian vessel because all Navy destroyers and cruisers have their own range of AA.

Brokenandburnt

Dude, read up on carrier task force defensive tactics. Why do you think that no US warships are inside the Gulf or the Strait?\ They are out at sea to avoid detection, be free to maneuver if targeted and to overlap each other's AA bubbles. Two or three destroyers in the Strait would be horribly vulnerable to having their defensive systems saturated. If they can engage 10 targets each simultaneously, you only need to fire 31 missiles. That's a _few_ reasons why the Navy has already said a firm No! to escort duties.

A world war would have to include China as they're the Russo-Iranian war factory. China's existential priority is to get the oil out which Iran is blocking. They going to send coal powered ships with their thoroughly embarrassed Fisher Price AA systems to attack both the US and Iranians at the same time? China's grand strategy is to look weak to lull the west into outsourcing their military-industrial base until it cannot recover. Swooping in to directly back the Iran-Russia axis or attempting Taiwan the moment the US is busy collapses their game theory immediately. Everything the US is doing across multiple theaters right now is being done with our *peacetime* military. One hampered by years of neglect, years of recruiting problems, inability to use key bases, supply chain shortages, etc. Triggering a full blown mobilization by the west right after their defense tech got donkey punched in two countries is the last thing they want.

I mean I think it should be possible to cover the entire strait with US Navy ships, each one acting as an AA platform + some f15 with AA loadouts + EWACS flying overhead detecting missile launches. The question is which insurance agency is going to agree to risking a hundred million dollar payout.

Everyone seems to be taking the “whatever you say bud” stance here. But look at the numbers: Day 1: 504 launches Day 2: 132 Day 3 : 117 Day 4: 33 Day 5: 29 This isn’t taking into account every drone or the unguided rocket artillery from their proxies and I’m sure the numbers aren’t 100% accurate. But there is undoubtedly less and less footage of new of strikes and launches every single day. Iran is either running low on their stockpiles but more likely their means to launch them is dramatically reduced. God knows what’s been destroyed on the ground. Lots of videos of launch vehicles being hunted in broad daylight by drones. Irans lost most of its AA, . It’s just whacks a mole with launchers now.

There is no way to stop drones from being launched. It's very expensive to shoot them down with AA. Someone needs to negotiate a peace deal fast.

It’s about the same drop off we saw in 2025 during the 12 day war. Iran never gained tempo back. Without the high risk of ballistic missiles, conventional AA and helicopters will be deployed for the drones. I ran Doomsday order was enacted and they still are claiming mass.

Propaganda is absolutely always a thing in war, but i doubt this specific situation is propaganda. The details match perfectly with friendly fire by a kuwaiti AA battery.

Its the likely explanation. During desert storm about 50% of all losses were friendly fire as well iirc. Its highly unlikely that an iranian sam operator shot down 3 F15s over Kuwait. Its a lot more likely that a nervous AA operator in Kuwait got spooked by 3 jets coming in and fired before asking questions.

Idk if you have seen the videos but Iranian missiles are hitting nearly every time. In June they aused cold war era ballistic missiles and AA systems like THAAD, Arrow and Patriot could intercept most of them, but that is not true this time around. Theres videos of 12+ interceptors being launched at a single missile and still failing to intercept. Whichever company manufactures air defense weapons is going to go down as they are now proven to be obsolete by Iran, nobody is going to send $ billions in contracts for interceptors that can be beaten by modern missiles.

Melonskal

Based on what? The leadership was killed immediately, then SEAD against remaining AA systems and missile launchers began and today a huge number of IRGC and Basij HQs have been obliterated with strikes showing no sign of stopping. Iranians are celebrating on the street and should have an easier time now that the IRGC is being slaughtered.

Anyone remember the NOLA terrorist attack on 1/1/2025? No? Anyone remember the Las Vegas Cybertruck bombing 1/2/2025? No? Anyone remember when that helicopter pilot flew into that AA plane outside DC? No? Anyone remember Charlie being Kirked? No? Anyone remember Tarriffs? No? Anyone remember THEE files? No? Good. Then it's all going as planned. Cant' wait to see where we go from here! https://preview.redd.it/l1ovcmzht8mg1.png?width=543&format=png&auto=webp&s=52e23f0a575cedae01c3afa4ce6e9abb0bb1db30

Things are pretty quiet now. I wonder if Iran being willing to hit the other MENA US allies changed their calculation. Because defending Israel is one thing.  Defending the whole region is going to deplete their munitions fast seeing that the last one was stopped because Israel was genuinely running out of AA system munitions.

I hold a few thousand AA shares, and judging by the activity over the last 2 months (bids and asks have been plenty and growing in prices) there is definitiely something in the works. Chatter I've heard is it will be an acquisition NOT a merger (Automation Anywhere would acquire [C3.AI](http://C3.AI), which will be their route to IPO). They've been performing impressively well year on year, see below (from Yahoo!Finance). As a non finance/investment banker/trader type (I am but a mere Technical Presales "mortal" if you will :) ), I would love to get some of your thoughts and insights? ec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- [Automation Anywhere](https://www.automationanywhere.com/ai), the leading provider of Agentic Process Automation (APA) and agentic solutions, today announced strong third-quarter results, driven by accelerating enterprise adoption of AI. AI bookings grew 45% year-over-year and accounted for more than 70% of total bookings, while remaining performance obligations (RPO) expanded by more than 20% year-over-year, signaling sustained customer commitment. The company continues to demonstrate financial and operational discipline, with strong topline growth, marking another quarter of non-GAAP profitability and consistent free cash flow.

Ugh. Citron: "While TV pundits pound the table herding retail into cattle cars, Western Digital, the long time investor, sold a significant portion of its holdings days ago, 25% lower. Ask yourself why. Because they know the cycle is approaching a peak, and they're not waiting for the bell." Actually: "The company has until Feb. 21 to unload the shares without suffering tax consequences, according to a registration filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made last year." (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstocks/sandisk-s-stock-falls-as-western-digital-plans-to-sell-shares-what-investors-need-to-know/ar-AA1Wy2JH) The selling was going to happen before a year after the spin off date (2/24/25)

depends what retaliation comes, if the oil processing of neighbors that stage U.S. armed forces got hit could make global problems, ditto for choking Strait of Hormuz. Actually getting a bomber shot down by new AA system or carrier sunk by some new type of underwater drone or mine could make things go in weird directions too.

the orange may be dumb and loud but he wasn't wrong on many things especially with how the world does sort of cheat the US in many ways but that was allowed on purpose because it was considered an overall advantage, course reality is more complex maybe do some long term research and you'd learn. But china is one of the worst options to go with and the least logical entirely, also calling the US everything china directly is... that's fking hilarious and incredibly hypocritical. Europe isn't dumb they know the orange has not even 2 years left in office, further there's more pressing concerns going on something Canada doesn't have to deal with because Canada has been babied by the world. They have basically no military, they're going to start now and produce domestically.. oh wait they haven't even touched things like that in many decades... they're going to magically start creating firearms? Jets? A navy? Ground defense and vehicles, AA and so forth? From what exactly? Canada has numerous problems and most dont' stem from the US,

Agreed, just the exposure to inflation risk on its own should IMO command much higher premiums (tbh I wouldn't worry at all about credit risk of above AA rated countries). Though there must be some reason why institutions buy them.

I know, I know...Tilray is a dogshit meme company and its CEO is nothing but a diluting greaseball (hopefully that will save FoodCooker a bit of time jumping on this post). I also appreciate beer is a dying beverage and Coors and Bud will likely not make it to the end of the year (that's sarcasm). But Tilray teaming up with Carlsberg is newsworthy. A month or so ago geologic schooled me on the importance of distribution networks. If and when THC infused drinks become legal and regulated Tilray will be ready with both production and distribution. In the meantime, they are making deals with major companies. This is a weedstocks subreddit, Tilray is a LP, and this is a significant announcement.

It's very possible. Many of these commodity names run together. I am adding $BTU to my $AA, $MOS, $HAL commodity bucket. I don't need more metals so I am buying coal. I am building a very diversified port that is very tech light. I want cap ex heavy asset stocks. Atoms are more valuable than bytes in this market cycle.

I went to an AA meeting and said I have been an alcoholic for this weekend because it’s 3 days and they closed the casino. They keep saying I have a gambling problem. I’m here for my drinking issue!

I've been investing using Prosper since 2011, so about 14 years. They track your average returns. I've had an APY anywhere between 6.5% and 14.5%. I have auto invest on, and keep my allocation with mostly B rated loans with some C, A, and AA. Not great, but not horrible. I'd suggest diversifying in risk rating for loans because you're almost guaranteed to have at least a few charge offs.

Also, right-to-disrepair is built into the products, they want you to not be able to fix it on purpose so they can upcharge you on the maintenance.

I'm getting out of the way of these overpriced US stocks. I've been putting off buying $EWY and $EWJ waiting for a pullback that has never come. I just bought & will DCA in both starting today. Reddit can have fun with these overpriced American stocks. I'll bet on Mitsubishi and Samsung along with Gold. The world is watching the US AI bubble pop and pulling their Yen, Yuan, and Won back home. I guess I am now long Japan, South Korea, Gold, commodities $AA, $MOS, $HAL, and $OXY, and US treasuries. I will let reddit BTD in software and tech. Even US staples like $WMT and industrial stocks like $CAT are expensive.
