Russia did too, and it went pretty well, at least early on. That handful of nukes in Cuba that sparked the missile crisis? 100% of the Soviet arsenal.

While I hear what you're saying, government entities, and especially the military, are also subject to legal requirements that they not do things in certain ways, or have unique requirements not accounted for in a 'best practices' system.
They're suing within the statute of limitations for infringement that happened before the patent expired.
