Same type of thing going on with the F35. The F35 isn't supposed to actually work. But the contractors working on it are getting huge money to do r&d for the gadgets that attach to it. Normally they should be doing r&d on their own dime.

Army Future Combat Systems program is likely going to show the same as well. It's been a total failure.

Maybe one day we'll track down the trillions that are literally missing from the DoD and the trillions lost to fraud.

The land warrior program was a colossal waste of money

Railgun is way worse than F35 as a waste of money.

Said it before

This is actually starting to change in some DoD acquisition programs on the table now.

Army's FVL-JMR-TD program has stopped writing checks to Bell and Sikorsky for their R&D guessing games.
