USAF Joins Navy in Warning of 'Fighter Gap'

Looks like the USAF is going to have problems similar
to the Navy's.


They have only themselves to blame. Nobody forced them to build those
expensive fat ass "next-gen" fighters/bombers/transporters/attackers, etc.
Why is everything coming out of Pentagon and American defense contractors so
damn expensive? Good luck with 181 F22s that are tasked to fight adversaries
ranging from old and new superpower like China and Russia or ragtag
guerillas who can barely afford a AK47.
