"The last plane was delivered debris free". Something seriously wrong this picture if that's a highlight.
The culture of the military is of honor and a trust of your fellow soldier. When these folks collide with the corrupt business practices of many vendors, you aren't going to get a good outcome. It is not the nature of the military to constantly question your superiors which needs to be done when working with contractors. The military needs a department of Guido to beat on contractors and keep them in-line.
Why in the H do engineers have to make things so stupid. Mount a camera on the boom and a camera on the tail and have 2 monitors..both camera would have night visibility..aircraft gets close, you can then watch the boom to make sure it's on target, guiding both it and the pilot...smh.
Or, for that matter, what's wrong with the old system? A window for the good ole Mark I eyeball.
You are forgetting the time needed for all the corruption in a typical Govt Contract.
