It’s also just structural transformation.
Productivity growth elsewhere in the economy results in higher wages across the entire economy and firms that can’t match market wage levels will just go out of business (and that shifts the economy, generally, towards capital light service producers and highly productive manufacturing corporates).
The Pentagon simply is irrelevant for American public life (except as a fun political talking point: the U.S. has no real interests in foreign geographies) so mismanagement, cost overruns, etc don’t matter to anyone really
US Army awards largest single-year Javelin contract to date: $1.3B
The U.S. Army awarded a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon a $1.3 billion contract to produce antitank weapons, the companies announced Thursday.
The contract, which is the largest single-year deal to date in program history, is the first follow-on award of a production order dated May 2023. The Javelin Joint Venture (JJV) began to ramp up production activities of the man-portable, anti-armor weapon last year to boost production of all-up rounds, an industry term that describes complete munitions, to 3,960 annually by late 2026, a JJV statement notes.
AeroVironment wins nearly $1B to supply Switchblade munitions to US Army
WASHINGTON — AeroVironment, the maker of the Ukraine has used against Russia in recent months, is planning to ramp up production of the heavier-duty version.
Ukraine has had repeated battlefield successes with the Switchblade 300 since the United States shipped it 400 of the lighter-weight loitering munition earlier this year, Charlie Dean, AeroVironment’s vice president of sales and business development, said in an interview with Defense News at the Association of the U.S. Army’s conference on Monday.

Raptor with a new IR pod.
I wonder how it affects the different regimes of speed, LO/VLO-wise I reckon it is still competitive even with external loads since the pod is designed accordingly and the Raptor is famed for its unmatched low observability among current fighter aircraft.
I guess that's his habit: sending p.m. and try to point out your supposed mental defect to highlight his supposed intellectual brilliance and superiority.
