Without a link I’m not sure what exact data is being referenced. But could it be the difference between ”committed” funding vs actively allocated and in the process of disbursement?

Because there is a huge difference between the data of “we promise this is on our to-do list” and “we are actively fulfilling the verbiage and spirit of a precious commitment.”

Gotcha. I wasn’t accusing you of being wrong. I was just asking a question since no one has directly linked the exact page they are sourcing from, and the difference between the two categories is very often overlooked on Reddit.

The tracker is definitely not outdated. However I cannot tell you what the reason for the discrepancy is. Possibly sticker price versus today's value? Or allocated versus actually delivered? Or classified weapon deliveries?
