Ops Brief 095: Daily Drop - 26 Aug 2025 - $99M for CJADC2-Trash?!
Peaches is back in the team room with a ruthless daily drop that pulls no punches. From the Pentagon tossing $99 million at a Joint All-Domain buzzword with zero receipts, to Boeing’s KC-46 boom skewering fighter jets like kebabs, the hits just keep coming. The Air Force is out here buying VR dogfights that’ll give pilots bad habits, Space Force is running war games, and the DoD wants to overhaul Cobra Dane radar for a cool billion. Oh, and let’s not forget—another stolen valor meltdown is brewing, with Green Berets lying through their teeth. Peaches teases his upcoming sit-down with Nate from Valhalla VFT to torch the frauds. If you want soft takes, go somewhere else—this is the blunt truth about Air Force Special Warfare, DoD clownery, and who’s about to get exposed next.
