In this episode, our team reviews where the defense bills stand in Congress. We also discuss Lt. Gen. Schiess’ confirmation hearing for CSO, as well as China’s success in recovering an orbital class booster. When it comes to airpower, we discuss capacity strains, how to reset the munitions deficits, and the latest with CCA contract awards. Our team wraps up exploring why recent attacks on airpower don’t match with reality.
