Didn’t watch the video yet, but I bet it boils down to poor project management.
Poor project management due to profiteering.
Micromanagement by the customer (government) and moving the goalposts. Idiot regulations too.

FAR WORSE than that. At least poor management is fixable, the problem here is SHEER ARROGANCE of the people who spent their entire lives HATING the military and thus never taking seriously the warnings given to them by the military, such as relying on our two biggest enemies for raw materials and piece parts, and having an industrial base likely now smaller than Shanghai, much less all of China...and not being able to even keep up with Russia, as Russia knew that “The End of History” was NOT here, and that they may well need to ramp up and fight.
For the US, it was about getting Drag Queens and Groomers to the front lines...and so now we pay, BIG TIME.
A simply lesson SHOULD be learned here, but won’t be, which is NOT to start a World War (as we may well be doing), unless you’re actually prepared to fight it.
No. You are wrong. It is due to the world’s greatest project management practiced by the world’s greatest project management specialists and is designed to make sure that nothing is done that deviats from what was stated as the requirements. The problem is that it is horribly expensive and deals poorly with things that go wrong or things that turn out differently than you thought. We have long forgotten how new things are actually developed you know, like Goddard and the rocket or the Wright Brothers, or Kelly Johnson and the SR71 or Elong Musk and the Falcon rocket, or almost anthing else that had to be invented.
It’s managerialism - bureaucracy and control and tracking over getting real work done, testing and experimenting and fixing and prototyping until you have something that works and you can sell.
