    They didn’t actually lose track of it, they just don’t want you to know where it went. It’s common for black projects, like the Air Force’s satellite killer space fighter.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    And it’s not the first time the Department of Defense, one of the most well-funded federal agencies, has lost tabs on weaponry and equipment sent to other countries like Iraq, Kuwait, and Yemen.

    The Department of Defense “did not maintain an accurate inventory” of the weapons designated for “enhanced end-use monitoring” (EEUM) that were delivered to Ukraine and “did not fully comply” with requirements, according to the Inspector General’s report.

    Ryder explained that at this time there remains “no credible evidence of illicit diversion of US-provided, advanced conventional weapons from Ukraine.”

    The US military failed to properly monitor more than $1 billion worth of arms transfers in Iraq and Kuwait, according to a previously declassified Defense Department audit that was obtained by Amnesty International in 2017.

    Additionally, in 2009, a report by the US Government Accountability Office found that the Pentagon had failed to track the thousands of weapons provided to security forces in Afghanistan.

    “Things are showing progress, but it’s not enough,” Defense Department Comptroller Mike McCord told reporters at the time, according to Reuters.
