- vlehto 10y agoI think one of the biggest strengths of U.S. military has been ability to pour money in R&D without wasting it to unneeded projects. This happens via embarrassing cancellations, but anyhow it seems to work to some degree. Now U.S. can pretty much rely on having the newest tech on all fronts, while everybody else is scrambling to have fleeting glory of adequate gear fielded.
