WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – During a highly complex test of a new interceptor in 2015, the agency’s new target failed, the Republican senator from the state of Arizonastated.
"MDA spent at least $375 million on this first target, making it MDA’s most expensive medium-range target," McCain claimed in his annual “America's Most Wasted” report. "And it took nearly 10 years to deliver."
The Missile Defense Agency has since canceled the troubled program.
