We need fly drones from US and hit targets.

It’s mainly drones and anti drone capabilities that they have really screws up on.
Which is a very essential part of modern warfare...especially with the Iranians
We did learn some lessons from the Ukraina/Russia conflict on this front so I'd reject the notion from the OP that we haven't made any new shite

Anduril makes some pretty insane stuff
At a 10th the cost and 5x the production capability.
We should be loading up with those Barracudas..

Isn't that kind of the point? To not have long drawn out wars? Our technology destroyed a 47 year regime in 3 weeks (not even)
Took them 47 years to build and 3 weeks for us to dismantle

They are still in power. Nothing has changed over there.

Absolutely agree...These are just a few of the Army air defense artillery programs cancelled because they failed to meet the needs of the military or became too costly during development: SLAMRAAM (Raytheon), JLENS (Raytheon) (Elevated Sensor), MEADS (Lockheed-Martin) (Multi-National Program with several European countries) IFPC (Indirect Fire Protection Capability. Program initially ended because missiles were not containerized...flawed design concept), M-SHORAD Directed Energy (Lockheed-Martin), etc. Billions of dollars wasted...basically, just high paid contractor welfare....no capability delivered to soldiers. Didn't even touch existing programs like IBCS (Northrup Grumman) that's literally a decade behind schedule, barely better than what's out there today, and has cost the Army nearly a billion dollars a year since inception two decade ago. You are spot on...the defense industry has lost its end.
