That video mentions our most advanced aircraft (F35) is now nuclear capable. The problem is that they can't fly and are going to cost trillions to maintain. Those arms manufacturers sure are good at selling overpriced junk to a gullible congress. In fact all of the weapons we have given Ukraine, from Himars, glided bombs, ATACMS, ect, have under performed drastically. Most everything is either being jammed or shot down.

So Gaetz doesn’t understand the value of Fifth generation aircraft. Israel has far higher operational levels because they have more ground crew due to a draft. The US Air Force has real retention issues and a lot of focus is on keeping older aircraft flighing.
