$13 million for a defense giant like Honeywell is less than a slap on the wrist.
Either they were truly incompetent or someone decided to consciously authorise the release of info, to curry favor. Why would they need to share any information at all on the F22, F35 , B1b lancer, Tomahawk, Apace and Abrams with the Chinese??
