The Navy plans to spend $864 million buying 54 drones from Lockheed, the biggest U.S. contractor.

That is $46.6 M *per* drone. And they don't work. At what point does this become treason?

Dunno. What happened to the developers of the early WWII torpedoes?

WWI torpedoes were better made, and the Pacific War (in particular) could have been much shorter.

I think you answered your own question. NEVER

“Lockheed, the biggest U.S. contractor”

Too important to fail. The kick backs to politicians and bureaucrats on $864,000,000.00, even in 2015 inflated dollars is pretty important to the recipients.
