Hmmm. Another F-35 bashing article, which while wailing that the F35 is not mentioned, conspicuously fails to mention that neither is the F22 or any other patform bar the B21.
While it's all very well quoting this :
"The Air Force’s projected force structure in 2030 is not capable of fighting and winning against this array of potential adversary capabilities....... "
What does the author think the response would be to a statement along the lines of "The Air Force’s projected force structure in 2030 is more than capable of fighting and winning against this array of potential adversary capabilities....... "?
The obvious answer to which from a Congress needing to find budgetary savings would be "well no aircraft or system development funding or projects for you between now and the 30s then". Which is fifteen years or so for anyone struggling with arithmetic.
I feel sure that would be a universally acclaimed outcome.
