DOD lost billion dollar blimp

And if I fuck up a $15 parcel at work I am fired.

Not for one blimp - for the entire program. Ech blimp costs $175 Million. They look beyond huge when you notice the person standing next to one.

They are designed to give 360 degree aerial coverage to provide advanced notice of a nuclear missile attack. Being able to knock down nuclear missiles would be a worthwhile project.

It does seem odd that one could just "get away." That's a serious problem. Sounds like something John McCain would do.

Never use the words 'military' and 'intelligence' in the same sentence.

What the hell.....it ain't my money.

DOH!

Spetsnaz at work??
Seems like something they would do

You can google any of the information ... and yes i know what OPSEC is ....

Here you go RIGHT off of lockheedmartins web site

Lockheed Martin’s Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS) serves as eyes in the sky for Coalition forces in Afghanistan. And according to several recently published reports, the aerostat-based surveillance system is seeing quite a lot.
Acting on PTDS information, soldiers at Forward Operation Base (FOB) Andar worked with the Afghan police to thwart a group of insurgents attempting to plant an improvised explosive device (IED) in early January. Using the PTDS’ camera system, American forces also recently observed an Afghan Uniformed Police officer extorting money from civilians at an illegal checkpoint on the route between Ghazni and Sharana. The soldiers detained the man and turned him over to the National Directorate of Security.

Unless we don't use the satellites?

Satellites are supposed to carry digital traffic, also... but we spend 100's of millions of dollars laying undersea cables that supposedly carry 95% of the world's internet traffic...

seems odd.

Somewhere a private (E-1) is having a pucker moment

it looks like a giant vibrator.

These airships are not classified secret. Not even close. Chill.

The weed is getting stronger

2.7billion and a 82.48$ blimp? Followed by 2 "jets" fast fucking blimp. SAP money

Saw it near phoenix one holiday weekend.
It appears different depending on your view...huge...looks like star camo at night...in day it looks clear...huge hovering scaffold with camo strobes, lights. Floatz in 4he sky.

Cos Sattelites dont really exist, the earth is flat

Probably just a trial balloon...

There will be signs in the skies lol
Am waiting for some nut job believer to come along hang say he will descend from the clouds god is a blimp

Chinese payback?

Hey, idiots....

The BLIMP does not cost $2.7 billion.

That is the budget of the entire program.

And under this entire program, these AEROSTATS are used on
the U.S.-Mexico border, down in the Caribbean, in Iraq and
Afghanistan and elsewhere.

This budget also covers pricey R&D.

Get your facts straight.

Not lost.

Thread: I was born in Skycity.

Skycity.

Sure it doesn't cost that. They buy $500 hammers. Why should we believe you?

Get your facts straight: It's all corrupt and a massive lie.

He's right about he's saying here. But This is a totally different operating platform. It's used for cruise missile defense. It is there to protect Washington DC.

... you CAN'T make this up!!!! ...
.

Oh noes! The blimp spying on us has come un-tethered.

Quick! To my shark-mobile to escape!
