You'd be surprised how many are in the industry who didn't - yet? - get burned or don't consider it good enough reason to change.

Looks like you have to resist both variants... or, alternatively, timebox Apple so that you can come back to other customers, maybe periodically. Or, even better - include the costs for the potential problems in your consideration.

It's hard to check the calculations used, but couple of items - structural (40 t) and propulsion (38 t) - aren't clear. If some reductions are possible in these areas, they could save up to 70-80 t, bringing required payload to 12

All of that in practice won't really matter. Neither practically possible supplies of people nor weapons won't help Russian leadership.

I'm not sure it can be well argued I don't know much about Russia, so I'm staying the opinion. The Russian willingness to fight isn't that great and certainly way worse that the Ukrainians. I also never heard of two-week

It looks at least very reasonable. It's rarely argued that Russia has a severe disadvantage in conventional armaments compared to the West, or even USA alone; even Russian sources periodically admit that openly. It's also rather c

No, I don't. I don't know also if RetroBSD - a precursor - is used and how widely if so. They all look as quite a niche products.

The war could end in mere months if the West would provide adequate supplies to Ukraine.

Can we have similar tests for companies, some formalized employment-worthiness?

Probably to what company thinks the company needs or should do? It's rare - very - when a company really needs to do something unusual, which engineers wouldn't expect.
