A new U.S. Air Force analysis recommends continuing the development of NGAD, as well as terminating the NGAS stealth tanker program which was supposed to support the next gen fighter in contested airspace.
The United States Air Force (USAF) has recently concluded a comprehensive analysis of two major developmental programs: the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter and the Next-Generation Air Refueling System (NGAS) stealth tanker. After months of internal discussions and strategic reviews, the Air Force has decided to continue the development of the NGAD while recommending the termination of the NGAS program. This decision underscores a shifting perspective on how aerial dominance and refueling strategies will evolve in contested environments, particularly in the face of growing technological advancements and budgetary constraints.

Pakistan marks anniversary of shooting down Indian fighter jets.
Pakistan marks anniversary of shooting down Indian fighter jets. On February 27, 2019 Pakistan marked a significant moment in its military history commemorating what it describes as a successful defense operation against Indian aggression. This event known as Operation Swift Retort is remembered as the day when the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) responded to India’s airstrikes in Balakot by engaging and shooting down two Indian fighter jets escalating tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbors. As Pakistan observes the anniversary of this event it highlights the nation’s military preparedness and resolve to defend its sovereignty. The events of February 2019 were set in motion a day earlier when Indian warplanes crossed into Pakistani airspace and dropped bombs in Balakot claiming to have targeted a terrorist training camp. India’s actions came in response to the Pulwama attack which had occurred on February 14, 2019 in which over 40 Indian paramilitary personnel were killed in a suicide bombing. India held Pakistan responsible for harboring the militant group responsible for the attack an allegation Pakistan strongly denied. The airstrikes by the Indian Air Force (IAF) marked the first aerial intrusion into Pakistani territory since the 1971 war significantly raising tensions between the two nations.

Dear Friend
Introduction This is an attempt at a plagiaristic poem using the words in the waiting room at Preston Station where I am once a month. Although I will try to stitch them into a series of rhyming quatrains, I will post this in Serve rather than Poets as I feel that is more appropriate, though it does mean I have to flesh it out to six hundred words.

The U.S. Air Force’s NGAD 6th Generation Fighter Is Making a Comeback
The U.S. Air Force’s NGAD 6th Generation Fighter Is Making a Comeback The U.S Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance NGAD program aimed at developing a sixth generation fighter jet is making significant strides despite earlier budgetary uncertainties. Recent developments including a $3.5 billion engine development contract awarded by the Pentagon signal a renewed commitment to the program. This move comes as global competitors particularly China, accelerate their own sixth generation fighter initiatives pushing the U.S. to maintain its edge in air superiority. The NGAD program which had faced delays due to budget constraints is now back on track. On January 27, 2025 the Pentagon awarded two major contracts worth $3.5 billion to General Electric and Pratt & Whitney for the development of advanced engines for the NGAD fighter. These prototype engines are expected to be ready by 2032 marking a critical step forward in the program’s progression.
