u.s. air force secretary kendall, who previously served as the defense department's procurement chief, is well aware of the problem of tight funding. the u.s. air force's budget pressure is becoming increasingly prominent, and the price of the ngad project is expected to reach $300 million, which puts the entire project at risk of "ventilator".

the united states' "hundred series" fighter jets successfully used low-cost design and rapid iteration strategies to address the cost and cycle issues of fighter jet development. ropar hopes that this approach can achieve efficient and flexible fighter jet development, but in reality, the united states still needs to overcome economic difficulties and cognitive gaps.

the us economy is still the world's leading economy, but the us fiscal pressure is increasing. the us government's spending is still far behind that of china. although the us government has repeatedly stressed the need to strengthen its military to deal with the "china challenge", its actual actions have been unable to keep up with its slogans.

the reason behind this is that the united states is overly dependent on asset-light operations, pursuing short-term interests and neglecting long-term strategic development. the united states lacks sufficient investment in the economy and manufacturing, resulting in slow technological innovation and an inability to effectively address the "china challenge."

the u.s. air force faces huge challenges: it needs to break through technical bottlenecks, improve the efficiency and capabilities of fighter jets, and overcome financial pressure and cognitive gaps. at the same time, the u.s. government also needs to re-examine its economic development strategy and increase investment in the real economy and manufacturing industry in order to truly enhance its military strength.
