Certain to get even worse as the entire world rearms. As we saw yesterday the Russian's have brought out and used it's hypersonic weapons which by the Pentagon's admission is something we are not on par with. At the same time to the credit of strategists we're not showing the Russians, Chinese, Koreans etc our most advanced weaponry. That's for another time and place. In the meantime US defense spending not likely go down especially now that the US submarine fleet is coming up for replacement.</blockquote>
