- The U.S. Navy has requested a whopping $1.53 billion for 2024 to fund the continued development of its new stealth fighter, dubbed the F/A-XX. This marks the first time the service has assigned a publicly-known dollar figure to the program and it offers us an important glimpse into the Navy’s priorities in the years to come.

Alex, how you don't have over a million + subscribers, baffles me. Top notch production & content as always
With the Air Force aiming for 200 fighters and 1000 large combat UAVs, personal protection UAVs for tankers and AWACs might be a neat idea. Plus, those big planes could refuel their drones.
“Firing enough arrows to block out the sun….” A strong finisher Alex. Keep up the great work!
I listen to a lot of defense related channels and I look forward to your shows more than any of them by far. You are informed, entertaining, and more knowledgeable about America’s Air Power than anyone I know of . Thank you for spending the time to give us a podcast worth watching while also keeping it real.
The F/A capability of the F/A-18 might have been the first of the jet age, but plenty of WW2 Warbirds engaged ground targets and air targets on the same sortie
The quality of these videos amazes me. Alex has become my go to guy for information about military aircraft. That guy should have 2 million subscribers already. It baffles me that he doesn’t
The F/A-XX in my opinion is the most important program for Naval Aviation in 40 years. I would like to hear you focus on the Intercept capability of the F/A-XX. To me, the ability for long range and potentially super cruise may be one of the most important aspect. In the Indo-Pacific, the surface area is up to 1/3 the area of the earth. It is also important to review how the tomcat fit like a glove to deter the Soviet Union for many years in an intercept role. I like how you clarified that the F/A- XX is not a replacement for the F-35, yet an addition to the portfolio of Naval Aviation. Thanks for the great work.
Outstanding video, Alex; your depth of understanding, presentation and your patience to explain it to us semi-knowledgable viewers is astonishing.
I can't get enough of the NGAD programs
Another well-made and informative podcast. Thank you for all your work.
Hey Alex, thanks for your hard work with this channel.
Another great show Alex! Keep them coming!
Great summation sir. Love your reporting and I'm excited to see some actual information on the work being done on the next aircraft.
Another excellent video, great content! I feel the Wingman Drone will have the biggest effects (other than more missles) when used in 2 modes:
Man, your end statement is absolutely spot on and a breath of fresh reality that so many seem to lack any understanding of. Thank you for such great work, man
Hypothetical future near peer adversary: "our new air defense system can detect and destroy your stealth aircraft at 500km"
Another great video! Your channel is like watching the military channel on TV. Such great attention to details and the graphics along with the videos makes your videos really great to watch and learn from. Thanks for another amazing episode!
