The US test fired another AGM-183 recently, but oddly enough they are being quiet about the outcome of the test. I find it strange that they mentioned each previous failure publicly enough to get the program cancelled, but now that they only have two test missiles left for testing they won't talk about the results of the test fire.

Just to be facetious: could be they finally have enough self awareness to feel embarrassment?

In reality we'll just have to wait and see to find out.

It's another sign that basic education (from 1st class up to middle and high school) in the US is failing, and producing worse students (on average).
Remote education post COVID has killed student quality in ways you wouldn't believe. Helped my mom grade some homework for Chinese school (after school program) and a lot of them seem to have English reading comprehension issues, let alone Chinese.

One of my cousins (like 10 years younger than me) is studying medicine in Turkey. He started the course in the fall of 2020. He didn't take a single face-to-face anatomy lecture. As a 4th-grade student, he will start interning in a hospital this year. Just saying...

Welcome to Turkish education. I am studying in a certain university in Turkey right now and I can say with absolute confidence that at LEAST 1/3 of my classmates are cheating on their exams and being lazy and asking ChatGPT to write their assignments.

They have a WhatsApp group where during the tests, the test takers would quickly take a picture of their exam sheet and somone outside the test would google and find the answers. The group has 680+ (maybe more now) members. Even if you try reporting them, the professors and the faculty wouldn't do jack shit.

I read some of their assignments and the fact that they somehow get anything above an FF (lowest possible score, basically a fail) on their assignments is laughable. It is so obvious that they have used ChatGPT to generate their assignment. You can tell because the work is devoid of meaning and often rehashes same thing over and over again with no direction or purpose.

Anyways, Turkish education is basically a joke ( unless you are at the top 5 or so universities).

For a country with (kind of) a bolt-out-of-blue defense industry that is already capable of challenging all the other major powers, some of which already has a long-standing solidified presence on the international arms market, the scenario that you have described is rather unbelievable, TBH...

What do you think is more likely, that Turkey miraculously developed an incredible defense industry overnight based on their indigenous education system, or that an external party is secretly helping them?
