The more fighter jets/drones the better. We should’ve made TWICE as many F-22’s. I agree with Trump that none of our jets should be single engine like the F-35, although apparently it’s very stealthy.
“...the Navy’s next gen fighter...will provide exceptional new capabilities for our Air Force (?) pilots.”
Or are there actually two of you out there?
They did so good with the F-35 (/s /puke) which is useless so lets build something else.
DoD ask for X
Changes to Y when X is almost built
Change requirements that Y won’t work so you need Z
Congress goes after manufacturer for not meeting cost and schedule of X
Manufacturer says government changed it to Y then Z
DoD says Z can’t meet the requirements of X or Y so we need AA
Congress triples the budget and AA goes into development for 15 years... fails DT&E but goes on to OT&E and fails that then says they’ll fix it in the fleet after production
They can’t fix it in the fleet and it can’t meet requirements
DoD has a idea... ask for a new X
That’s defense acquisition in laymen terms.
This Raytheon mouthpiece strikes again.
Cool pic - where are the vertical stabs?
