So I'm looking at that report and a couple things jump out at me:
Much of it looks familiar, like work that has already been done.
It's a U.S. Dept. of Energy sponsored work but done in a scale wind tunnel in Ukraine?
So I look up this program:

To address concerns about unemployed or underemployed Soviet-era weapons scientists in Russia and other countries, the Department of Energy (DOE) established the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) program in 1994 to engage former Soviet weapons scientists in nonmilitary work in the short term and create private sector jobs for these scientists in the long term.

So the U.S. taxpayer is paying for former Soviet weapons scientists to replicate work that's already been done. Do I have that right?
