Constructivists vs Real World

Fire Shadow loitering munition. Developed for the wrong war maybe, but I wonder if we had stayed the course with it how good it would have been in Ukraine?

“About $50 billion of this supplemental would flow through our industrial base… creating good American jobs in more than 30 states”
