美国军方面临装备丢失和浪费的重大问题,耗资数十亿。 The U.S. military has faced significant issues with lost and wasted equipment, costing billions. 最近的报告强调指出,自2018年以来损失了价值数千万美元的200万F-35备件,一个海军仓库损失了价值1.26亿美元的陈旧零部件。 Recent reports highlight the loss of 2 million F-35 spare parts valued at tens of millions since 2018, and a Navy warehouse holding $126 million worth of obsolete parts. 这种效率低下,加上承包商收费过高和预算不相干,尽管供资水平高,但可能导致准备不足。 Such inefficiencies, alongside overcharging by contractors and a disconnected budget, may lead to underpreparedness despite high funding levels.
