It seems that tariffs alone won't cover the proposed elimination of income taxes for earners of $150k and below. Has anyone else done this calculation and came up with a different answer?
The United States military employs a wide range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) classified into different groups based on their capabilities, size, and intended use. Here is a comprehensive overview of the drones currently in use:
Group 1 - Small UAVs:
RQ-11 Raven: A small, hand-launched drone used primarily for local reconnaissance at the company level.
WASP
Puma
Group 2 - Tactical UAVs:
MQ-19 Aerosonde: Used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and data collection.
CQ-10 Snowgoose: Utilized for aerial supply, surveillance, and communications relay.
Group 3 - Medium UAVs:
Shield AI
V-BAT
RQ-7B Shadow: Employed for reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, and battle damage assessment.
RQ-21 Blackjack: A modular, versatile system used for rapid transitions between land and maritime environments.
Arcturus-UAV Jump 20
Navmar RQ-23 Tigershark
SIC25
Vanilla Unmanned
Group 4 - Larger Tactical UAVs:
MQ-1C Gray Eagle: An upgrade from the Predator, used by the US Army for medium-altitude, long-endurance missions, capable of carrying Hellfire missiles or Stinger missiles.
Group 5 - High-Altitude, Long-Endurance (HALE) UAVs:
MQ-9 Reaper: Known for its long endurance, high-altitude operations, and ability to carry a variety of weapons for precision strikes.
RQ-4 Global Hawk: A surveillance drone with extensive range and endurance.
MQ-4C Triton: A high-altitude, long-range surveillance UAV used by the US Navy.
Additional Drones:
Black Hornet Nano: For intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
Coyote: A low-cost, tube-launched kamikaze drone for intercepting other drones.
Switchblade 300: A small, loitering munition used in tactical strikes, notably in Ukraine by forces against Russian invaders.
Avenger: Known for its speed, stealth capabilities, and internal weapons storage, used by the Air Force.
X-47B: Notable for being the first unmanned aircraft to perform autonomous carrier operations.
MQ-8 Fire Scout: A vertical takeoff and landing UAV used for reconnaissance and targeting.
This list is not exhaustive due to the evolving nature of military technology and the classification of some drones, but it covers many of the publicly acknowledged drones used by the US military. Remember, new models are being developed and some operations use drones that might not be publicly disclosed due to security reasons.
Step 1: Announce Kash Patel has been hacked by Iran.
Step 2: The FBI, who did the actually hacking, leaks the damaging stuff to the media.
Step 3: The media runs with the smears and Republicans in the Senate use that as an excuse to reject Kash.
