It really sucks because you used to be able to get every kind of artillery round from the same service but now i'm subscribed to like three different apps for 155mm, 120mm mortar shells, etc.
I know this is a joke but it's already real in a way. Not all NATO calibre munitions are cross-compatible. And here I was thinking that was the whole point!
Absolutley savage takedown of tech solutionism in military contexts. The Front Finder bit killed me but honestly the subscription model for munitions is closer to reality than we'd like to admit. Watched similar thinking nearly cripple supply chains in '22 because everyobdy thought just-in-time manufacturing was peak efficiency till it wasnt.

JIT has been a thing people have been trying to do since Rumsfeld (it fails every single time)
A coworker suggested making our software a subscription model to expand sales to expand our customer base to which I let out a big <sigh>
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!
Perfection.
