Russia’s Krunichev Space Research and Development Center announced Wednesday the end of the manufacturing line for the SS-19 ICBM, according to the Interfax news agency. “We do not have the manufacturing equipment nor can we produce them under contract. We can only dispose of them,” said General Director Alexander Medvedev.
The Air Force ramped up operations and maintenance spending to keep its F-35A fighters flying over the past six years, but readiness continues to lag behind goals, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
