How much did the military spend yesterday? $2.06 billion. How much was Boeing awarded in August? About the same.
Boeing landed three defense contracts yesterday. The biggest was worth $805 million for providing four MQ-25A unmanned air vehicles to the Navy. The lesser contracts included one for F/A-18 aircraft parts and a modification (increase) to an earlier contract.
Note that in the month of August, Boeing was awarded 21 defense contracts and/or modifications worth a total of $2,040,905,914.
That's $2 billion the federal government has promised a defense contractor in just one month.
