"In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one aircraft. The aircraft will have to be shared by the Air Force and Navy, 3.5 days each per week except for leap year, when it will be made available to the Marines for the extra day." -- Norm Augustine, Augustine's Law Number XVI
Yay. Spending money on hundred million dollar planes, billion dollar carriers, etc when a 50k drone will do the job just as well.<p>Guess all those lessons in Ukraine haven’t really sunk in for defense acquisitions.
