The Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it’s 2025 and somehow this wasn’t already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what’s deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it’s a Cold War cosplay. And don’t worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?

Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let’s go.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • 🇨🇳 Finally banning Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland—because national security apparently wasn’t obvious.
  • 🎯 Army wants four times the Patriots—are we prepping for WW4?
  • 🛠️ Right-to-repair bill might finally stop the Pentagon from mailing radios back like it’s 1996.
  • 🛰️ Space Force budget finally treated like we’re living in the 21st century.
  • 💥 Air Force's KC-46 might not have SATCOM... in 2025. Let that sink in.
  • ✈️ F-15EX seat wars: single vs. dual. It’s the dumbest civil war nobody asked for.
  • 💸 $16B in Air & Space Force “wishlist” items because budgets are just polite suggestions.
  • 💣 KC-46 breaks a boom during F-22 refueling—again.
  • 🧑‍🚀 GAO calls out absurd classification BS blocking space partnerships. Jared rants accordingly.
  • 🎓 Kirtland’s low-key collab with universities to protect satellites—science meets space drama.
  • 🧠 AI-based targeting trials mean the machines are learning… hopefully the right targets.
  • 🎯 OTS ANNOUNCEMENT: Nashville, TN – Oct 25-26. You heard it here first.
