OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Misfire.
Just like in real life, the tech always malfunction when you need it the most.
Just remember that all of our weapons systems, etc. are built by the lowest bidder.
In my experience, the contract goes to whoever kicks back the most to the politicians approving it, costs are irrelevant…unless the manufacturer (and their employees to get around any limits) didn’t make a big enough campaign donation, this is why you pay through the nose for complete crap that will need to be ‘improved’ several times before it’s at all useful.
And then once it’s actually produced, only about 20% of the original order comes through.
Sigh RIP F-22 program…187 built of initially proposed 750 or so stealth jets.
when a new gov’t takes office and decided to ‘save money’ by cancelling a program to start a new one in their constituencies…
look no further than the F-35 fiasco up here and the E-101 contract before it..cancelled by an incoming gov’t only to be quietly reinstated later on by that same gov’t at a much larger price for fewer airframes
