Should've left that part out Ivan
Shouldn't you be out at sea?
Seas are too rough at this time of year. There's a storm. Southern Somalia is flooded too
Sorry to head that fellow pirate. Did you at least download some zero day warez today?
Nope. I've been too disheartened lately after heavy rain and such.
Stormy seas. No sailing for the foreseeable future
My biggest catch was a 20 cm crucian carp. What was the size of your catch?? Tanker Volgobalt 104 meters???
Sirius star 330m
What difference would it make?
Good catch. As a sailor to a sailor, will you send me 30 meters so that I can cook fish in the oven? I'm Russian by the way
Sure thing but i'm not sure if you'd enjoy it
What's your catch today, sailor? How many tankers did you rob?
Just use the pirate flag, bro
I can just imagine you seething while staring at your computer screen.
It's not me seething, rather I wanted to warn him about mutts and hohols that turn rabid at the sight of a Russian
no one cares homosexual you're on a trannie and /LULZ/ spam board
calm down, hohol
40k plus tip, group fee, gratuity, and service charge.
It costs $40k, and is accepted, because the right people pockets the money.
They sell those on eBay for $100 aud a piece
>How can this crap cost $40k to the US military
To drain more budget, its basically people's money anyway.
Calm down, israelite
NEVER
it is high-tech mega secret super advanced AI fuzzy NASA CIA cosmic technology
>$40k
anon it's 400 for a set of two
$1k for the components and $39k for FLIR CEO's new superyacht.
imagine that a Russian that's getting its ass handed to it by drones cant see the worth of drones
OP, why is this news to you?
Didn't your soldiers had to have had their grandmas sew their winter uniforms for "sPeCiAl OpErAtiOn"?
All was is a device of wealth removal from the peasantry to the ruling class. Always has been. Always will be. You are a fucking moron if you think anything otherwise, likely with hopeless npc peasant genetics that have been deliberately bred by killing anyone in your family who could see the world for what it is.
It probably has a thermal camera, entry level shitty Chinese knock off thermals that can only see about 20m cost roughly $800- $1000, I can't imagine high FPS small delay thermal cameras that transmits a video feed and can see a Kilometer or so is going to be cheap.
I’m sure this will help us win in Ukraine . Two more weeks
Governments overpay for stuff all the time. its corruption. Same thing happens in the UK. Randox fucking rinsed the the tax payer hundreds of millions of pounds. All got through shady backhands. Made an app for covid and outsourced it to a shitty company in Pakistan on the cheap and embezzeled the difference into their pockets. To add insult to injury, the Pakistani company leaked millions of peoples passport photos on the internet.
We bollock Russia for their corruption. Rightly so. But need to look closer to home first. I am in favour of tech giants not paying taxes because the government is worse at spending it.

You guys ready to incoming Israeli refugees? No men left to fight them, all according to the ~~*plan*~~. Ukraine is new home of the israelite.
Corruption. It's an open secret that these departments always spend their full budget, weather they actually need to or not, in order to secure an even larger budget for them to play corruption with next year.
>sorry congress but you still just aren't giving us enough money please gibs more
They give out these contracts to whoever bribes them the best and then pay them the balance on their yearly budget at the end of every year.

>How can this crap cost $40k to the US military?
Whereas the Russian military they just take the money and sell shit of everything in the US (and Europe as well) there needs to be bureaucratic institution and a shitload of companies involved to take the money. This way there is no direct responsibility and they can say it's just a waste of resources instead of corruption. They also love wunderwaffes produced at a limited scale and/or just making a "superior" version of commerically available equipment.
Western governments as a whole have a boner for "procurement studies" to hide the fact that the same old cronies get that tax payer money, creating insane and cancerous specifications; should some outside win the contract they'll even kike each other and litigate or claim foul play (various american countries, butthurt french/german/belgian companies if it pertains to military procurement).
Limited buy orders usually. If it takes a team of 50 people, engineers, lawyers, finance, accounting, HR, marketing to get this product to market at a cost of $20m, the US DOD j only wants 500 of them, then the cost is 40k.
There's a lot of waste but DOD etc only care that unmet needs are met, not so much the cost of it.
government contractors have to launder their money somehow and the lobbyists make sure the gov is cool with it
For the same reason governments pay $50 for a single spoon or a fork.
No one regulates shit and everyone just pockets the money.
Governments are the most inefficient scammy pieces of shit in existence and no one should pay taxes to fund them, until all of their expenses are publicly laid out and instantly called out the moment they do anything stupid.
>the military has no process in which to choose a different item
>congress has no incentive to change this as their constituents make these items, but even if they did they would need votes from other congressmen in similar situations to change legislation
>the president can't change it
>even if businesses wanted to change the state of affairs they would instantly go broke because of the obnoxious amounts of money they pay their employees and managers in the states
In short, run the world off a israeli ponzi scheme and eastern countries discover how to exploit it, and there is just nothing you can do about it. After wwii whites truly became weak.
