The U.S. Air Force plans to cut F-35A orders for a second year beyond the previously announced fiscal 2023 budget request, then start ramping up…

A 12-year sales campaign for the optionally piloted Firebird failed to attract a production order.

The U.S. Air Force’s surprise plan to cut to its buy of Sikorsky HH-60W helicopters comes as the service is conducting an internal, wargames-based review of what the future of the combat search and rescue mission will become.

As the service looks to cut KC-10s and KC-135s, it is expressing more confidence in the KC-46 despite continued deficiencies in its development.

The status of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea flagship is unclear after Ukrainian forces claimed to have severely damaged the warship with shore-based anti-ship missiles. 

Speaking alongside Sweden’s Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, in Stockholm on April 13, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin told journalists that “everything had changed after Russia’s invasion [of Ukraine].” 

Spirit’s reengining work; South Korea earmarks transport aircraft, missile funds; F-35A flying hours drop; and Draken gets RAF contract.

The ulterior aim of critics’ inflation focus is not economics but the strategic choices the Pentagon’s budget request implements.
