Congress is preparing to kill it and foot the cancellation bills if it fails the next round of tests.
Good riddance. Reliability issues aside, the thing is massive, has zero ground clearance, needs an engine with twice the power of an M1A2 and costs approximately a gajillion dollars per copy.
And it can't do anything that you couldn't do better with a Stryker on a purpose built landing craft.
Or buy a bunch of CH-53Ks instead, because those things are bomb.
