let's see if he does it. the leave and defund list is loooong.
sucks. should be harshly punished. but,old news about contractor rip offs. who in congress or DOD gets the kickback one wonders.
That’s one of the reasons why Trump fired Patrick Shanahan from acting SECDEF.
He was a 31yr Boeing corporate guy who steered contracts for Boeing when he was acting SECDEF.
Be careful what you don’t ask for
Mattis knows maybe a little bit about military aviation to get himself into trouble, but not much more than that. He was given bad data thinking investment in F-15EX would be cheaper in the long-run compared to going full into 5th Gen.
The claims Boeing made about maintainability are funny. They’ll never get the F-15EX even into low double digit MMH/FH. Twin engine, legacy hydraulics, 2 cockpits, lots of suspension equipment, CFTs, yeah no. USAF never asked for it.
Between SECDEF Gates and those guys, they really handicapped the overall US defense posture and force structure with some insane decisions in acquisition, that sacrificed the kinds of systems we actually need.
A lot of those things they invested in were left in Afghanistan, while the F-22 production line had been shut-down by Obama and Gates. We never capitalized on the F-22 RDT&E, never went into full-rate production with the F-22, which then caused a wave of fighter shortages and old airframes being upgraded with billions that should have been spent on brand new F-22As with the line kept open.
Gates said, “We don’t need F-22s to bomb the Taliban and China and Russia don’t have anything like it."

Oh it gets worseMeanwhile China is making these as fast as they can:
Chinese new prototype regional strike aircraft. A lot of traitors within the US have been transferring them aerospace technology that is game-changing for their regional force posture.
