Ops Brief 056: Daily Drop - 5 June 2025 (Dronepocalypse Now & No Soup For The Navy!)
It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, and today we’re launching straight into the bureaucratic bonfire. Jared's back with updates so wild you’d think the Pentagon was drunk texting Congress. From billion-dollar GPS launches to PFAS exposure going prime time, we’re diving headfirst into drone dread, six-gen fighter delays, Space Force spending black holes, and the VA disability floodgates cracking wide open.
Also: A WWII hero finally gets his due, Canada's prepping for WWIII by 2028, and NATO’s still hoping its members hit 2% defense spending...by 2036. Meanwhile, GPS going dark could cause global chaos (shocker), and everyone’s pretending we’ll somehow counter Ukraine-style drone strikes with... what, PowerPoints?
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- Pentagon delays Navy’s fighter so Air Force can chase F-47 dreams. W.
- General Kane: “Innovation or bust” at the AI summit.
- CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and SOCOM swap out leadership like it’s Fantasy Football draft day.
- Ukraine’s drone game is savage. Ours? Still in beta.
- New AFSOC enlisted leader Freeman replaces Chief Green—who’s... under investigation.
- Cannon AFB and the 185th get leadership love. Why this made news? Who knows.
- Space Force drops $4B on launches and flexes GPS muscles while budgets burn.
- PFAS cleanup will cost $9.3B, but brace for the disability claim tsunami.
- Canada prepping for war by 2028. Hope they bring snacks.
- A GPS blackout would end civilization. Probably. Cool cool cool.
