    Is there some actual source on this other than a screenshot from a platform I don’t use written by some people I don’t know?

      Source cited by a number of media articles is a substack called Popular Information. They say it can be found via the federal contract procurement system but I wasn’t able to find any results for ice that were actually warheads. I didn’t search exhaustively but I am not sure exactly what they’re referring to since armor is also under the category that includes ordinance. There’s a link in the article for searching the database, maybe someone can find it.

      They should probably link to the guided missile contract somewhere directly in the article. Primary sources are key in this shit show.
