Delaying the Navy’s F/A-XX Fighter Would Be a Big Mistake
Ambassador Robert C. O Brien

Key Points and Summary – Delaying the US Navy’s F/A-XX sixth-generation fighter program to prioritize the Air Force’s F-47 would be a strategic mistake, ceding ground to China and undermining American sea power.

-The US aerospace industrial base is robust enough to produce both next-generation fighters simultaneously, a move that would strengthen domestic manufacturing and mirror the successful parallel programs of the 1970s (F-14, F-15, F-16).
 

-The Navy urgently needs the F/A-XX to replace its aging F/A-18s and maintain air superiority in the Indo-Pacific.

-Accelerating, not delaying, the program is critical to President Trump’s peace-through-strength agenda.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
