^ FYI: Das ist der Budgetantrag, über die genauen Details wird der Kongress zu entscheiden haben.
Dazu: ZITAT [...] The change is likely to raise concerns on Capitol Hill, the news service said, because the U.S. Air Force plans to seek funding for eight new upgraded F-15 tactical fighters, manufactured by Lockheed’s rival Boeing. The sudden pivot toward the F-15, which the military has not purchased in almost two decades, raises the possibility of a conflict of interest for Shanahan, who spent over 30 years at Boeing serving in various roles, including as vice president of the company’s commercial aircraft unit and general manager of the Dreamliner program. He has recused himself from all department matters involving Boeing. [...] Regardless of the new figures, however, Congress, which has the final say on most federal spending, will likely restore or boost the F-35 request, with an eye toward expanding military capability and protecting jobs. The state delegation’s letter to the Defense Department arrived on the heels of a similar statement to the president from the leaders of Congress’s F-35 Caucus, co-chaired by U.S. Rep. John B. Larson, D-1st District, whose hometown of East Hartford has Pratt & Whitney’s headquarters. That message slammed defense officials for appearing to backtrack on F-35 procurement efforts and inexplicably reverting back to the F-15, which the Air Force has not ordered since 2001. “This procurement appears to have been dropped into the budget without a validated DoD Joint Requirements Oversight Council requirement, without verification of the technology readiness assessment, and without a fair and open competition and with the analytic rigor to merit a directed buy,” the co-chairs wrote. “The fact that we are even discussing buying F-15 aircraft that the services have not procured for some 18 years is troubling in and of itself, but to think that the DoD would consider buying these aircraft with no regard to the acquisition process is even more troubling.” https://www.journalinquirer.com/business/st...2632a9c68e.html -------------------- "avenidas/avenidas y flores/flores/flores y mujeres/avenidas/avenidas y mujeres/avenidas y flores y mujeres y/un admirador" - Eugen Gomringer
