Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall on Thursday downplayed Elon Musk’s recent pronouncements that crewed fighters are obsolete in the era of drones, and suggested the billionaire industrialist learn more about the military.
“I have a lot of respect for Elon Musk as an engineer,” Kendall said during a webcast with the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. “He’s not a warfighter, and he needs to learn a little bit more about the business, I think, before he makes such grand announcements as he did.”

Did someone finally figure out 5th Gen fighters are required as part of an overall package to defeat near peer IADS…drones alone are not sufficient. Don’t have to search far back in history (Israel ~ Iran) to find proof of concept in successful 5th Gen endeavors

Truly unbelievable and nonsensical drop- as if the world all agreed to be friends and LMT backlog is 0. Trump planning to make NATO pay their fair share

Scammer is killed

We all knew 5 November 2024 - 20 Jan 2025 would be a very dangerous window of time. From millions of illegals loose in our own country to every adversary worldwide trying to “get theirs” before the new administration takes over. Remember Biden Harris Blinken Austin still have control of the situation room.

1. A2AD zones require integration of an extensive number of technologies and platforms; drones are just a part of a potentially successful strike package.

2. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defense policy bill on Wednesday, governing a record $895 billion. The tally was 281-140 in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA. The massive bill is one of the few major pieces of legislation that Congress passes every year and lawmakers take great pride in having passed it every year for more than six decades. The bill is a compromise between Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate, reached during weeks of negotiations behind closed doors.

Would you “trust” your life that an armed drone is 100% reliable - and is immune to EW/electronic attacks.
While drones have a significant role in future military operations- no one is completely comfortable or convinced they are the complete solution.

This is false reporting and fake news.

LMT and BA produce largest USA exports- fighter planes and commercial aircraft. New administration can’t afford to cut either

The President elect will leverage NATO to meet their obligations…. LMT is a long term buy.
