The Navy’s F/A-XX fighter jet seemed poised to be awarded earlier this year — and then things reversed course, to the point that last week the White House issued an official policy statement that moving forward with the Navy’s jet would endanger the Air Force’s F-47.
So, what’s going on here? Editors Aaron Mehta and Lee Ferran walk you through the last few months of drama around the jet, which both Boeing and Northrop Grumman are competing for.
Then, an exciting announcement: We’re launching two new video shows here at Breaking Defense. Aaron and Lee explain what to expect, and you can also watch trailers for the Congressional Roundup and Middle East Defense Digest on the site right now.
