again and again...
Reading this thread reminds me of an incident 35 years ago. A bunch of Bell Huey Cobras went down in 'nam because of falsified heat treatment records that resulted in weak rotor mainshafts. Somebody went to prison for that one.
Anytime procurement is made regarding components or systems for racing, aerospace, deep sea, military application, medical, or any environment where system failure could result in loss of life, utmost attention must be given to ONGOING quality assurance considerations.
That the Iraqi government spent that much on what appears to be a system that would have failed even a basic initial performance evaluation, suggests that their procurement system needs some refining re. quality control protocols.
As for the gentleman running the company that sold this deadly crap, I like the way the Chinese government deals with dishonest businesspeople- they hang 'em...
Bernie, are you listening???
