EP 79: FY23 Defense Appropriations + 155mm Ammo in the News (again) + Latvia & Saab Agree to 10 Year Carl G Contract + Germany's New Assault Rifle + 5 Companies Compete for Army OMFV Program + Prototype Mid-Range Capability Battery

Lots of stories in this episode.  We start out with the FY23  Defense Budget,  Things are moving and it looks like things are getting sorted out- maybe before the 23 Dec 22 deadline. Also- three stories from the Defense Post- 2 concerning 155mm ammunition (becoming our favorite subject) and one about Germany's latest assault rifle.  We also discuss a fine article from Jen Judson (at Defense News) and the Army's Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) effort.  Finally, somewhere in there- we have a Saab Carl G article (10 year contract with Latvia)- which as you know- we just can't resist any shoulder-launched munition story.  Oh- and a great story about the Prototype Mid-Range Capability Battery (can't miss that one).
