CSBA papers throw light on possible major programme changes under Pentagon's QDR

Article Abstract:

The documents published by Washington's Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) have showed up the possible outlines of major programme changes under Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) which could indicate considerable changes in the US Air Force. The CSBA reports have criticized the US Department of Defense (DoD) for allocating too many resources to fighters and short-range strike aircraft at the expense of long-range strike and reconnaissance.

Article Abstract:

Pentagon's fiscal year 2006 budget, released in February 2005, reveals that hi-tech weapons will be put aside for the time being. The budget attempts to stop procurement of the Lockheed Martin C-130J for the USAF, but allies in Congress and stiff cancellation turns may cause that decision to be revisited.
