Probably, but the follow ups, you know: -

M1, the waste and
F35 the cost

Were really poor
60 Minutes ran a piece on the runaway cost of defence projects. Things cost money, but now that there are only a few huge conglomerates running near monopolies to the Pentagon the suppliers charge whatever they want.

When you think about it, thirty years ago the US had several competing aircraft firms. For the Lightweight Fighter Program (LWF) that would result in the F-16s that Ukraine desperately wants, five manufacturers – Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed, Northrop, and Vought – submitted proposals. As an aside, Northrop's submission the VF-17 would become the McDonell Douglas F/A-18. For the F-16's successor, the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, only two were left to submit bids, Lockheed and Boeing (having acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997). And next year, Lockheed Martin is expected to acquire Boeing - meaning the entire fixed wing air power of the USAF, USN and USMC will be supplied by one single firm. At that point, Lockheed can triple the price of F-35 components, who's going to stop them?

Apparently Dmitry utkin, Prigozhin's deputy and co-founder of Wagner was also on the plane. Ten bodies have been recovered.
With Utkin a real nazi has finally been eliminated.

Just seen a news flash from a local channel ; from the details that appear from the video, the interrogated specialist (former French Air Force officer) concludes that the plane was downed with a short range missile.
