Missiles are an Absolute Nightmare

Missiles are becoming the backbone of American firepower, replacing traditional artillery across all branches. Chris Cappy explains the U.S. Navy's shift from destroyer cannons to vertical launch cells, the Army's move from howitzers to HIMARS, and the Marine Corps' adoption of long‑range missile systems like NEMESIS. He discusses the Pentagon's prioritization of Long Range Precision Fires, the doubling of missile investment from $4 billion to $8 billion annually between 2024 and 2026, and the growing share of missiles in global arms exports. The video also covers new launch platforms such as the Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System, the Typhon launcher, containerized field artillery, and hypersonic weapons like the Blackbeard missile, as well as supply‑chain challenges affecting Patriot, THAAD, and AIM‑120 production and the potential impact of private‑equity‑backed defense firms like Anduril Industries.
