150 million dollars and 600 miles range? Just buy F-35's if that's the case!

I'm getting pissed.

The Navy aims to build a stealthy pilotless aircraft to patrol at a minimum range of 600 nautical miles around an aircraft carrier at a maximum cost of $150 million a copy, according to a May Navy requirements documents obtained by USNI News.

I mean seriously?  Really?  Why go unmanned if those are the parameters?  Why not just buy additional F-35's????  An unproven concept to augment the Triton UAVs that cost as much as F-35's?  And yet the Marine Corps can't buy Marine Personnel Carriers and Amphibious Combat Vehicles????

Time to punch a wall.
