The absolute state of the US Navy: Forced to use ecksbawks controllers

Maybe the digital thumb stick does not develop drift after two weeks of use. kek

>(((fighting for diversity and togetherness)))

(((black budget))) ISIS and shills… probably among other things

...

Jews are going to be mad at the navy for choosing the cheap method.

I think most military units that have to control something easy use a gamepad.(drones f.e.)
Why blow 30K when all of your soldiers know a common gamepad much better and dont need 20 hours of "where the buttons are on our 30K magic-pad"

Sage for this not being something new.

Oy vey, my shekels! You need to buy my product because muh security!

Talked to a friend who's an old Navy tech. He said this happens all the time since the Navy has a specific contract with a company to make "sure" that specific 3,000 bolt on the helicopter is "verified" (Cue hand washing movements) for military use. Why they couldn't use that 3,000 to buy 3,000,000 bolts and test each one for an order of magnitude of the tension exerted, I don't know. Fucking military contracts are bullshit.

Imagun and so on

This reminds me when the gov started buying PS3s, why not buy intelshit in bulk?

It's such horseshit. Needless parallel r&d for things that have off the shelf alternatives is the biggest moneysuck there is. Pierre Sprey said he already designed an air superiority fighter with off the shelf only equipment and he thinks we could do it for $5 million per, maybe less, and would best anything in the sky. I believe him too. Can't wait till a real shooting war when someone just hires halfway competent engineers and btfos the west hard. Like Hezbollah war, but bigger and more embarrassing.
