The $2.5 billion provision is basically to cover Northrop Grumman’s cost overruns (the Sentinel program was already 81% over budget as of last July); the $4.5 billion is for the development of the aircraft to eventually replace the B-2, which was recently used to unlawfully and stupidly bomb Iran; and the $500 million upgrades the US’s operational ICBMs, which are among the world’s most dangerous weapons.
