Anonymous Coward User ID: 70439117 United States 10/03/2015 09:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Syria a disaster for U.S. arms manufacturers. In the world of selling war equipment Perceptions are everything. Because of this Syria has been a disaster to U.S. arms manufacturers.
Two years of bombing ISIS has produced nothing...zero...nada. Add to that the growing stories of the F-22 and F-35 problems, bloated costs and the fact that the F-16 could out maneuver them.
Now Russia is on the world stage and has done more damage to Isis in just a couple of days then the U.S. has done in two years. Never mind the fact that they are not allowed to do much damage to ISIS, the fact remains that perception is everything.
It has gotten so bad that just to sell a few planes to China, Boeing has to build a manufacturing plant in China to build them there.
It will get worse much worse as Russia will make short work of ISIS and interest in buying their equipment has been going through the roof even before they went into Syria. More job loss in the U.S....thanks Obama.
