No, its a bit less, 154,297 people. Of which approximately half, 76,366 are in the Integrated Defense Systems group. And that, while the industry dominant player in defense, is still totally inadequate for what is needed to maintain core capabilities.
E.g., The DSB has explicitly warned that we are in bad shape with regard to maintaining strategic strike skills as just one glaring red flag situation.
