Raptor, aircraft carrier cuts will work: Admiral

Article Abstract:

An Admiral of the Joint Staff reported that the planned cuts in the F/A-22 Raptor aircraft program and in the number of aircraft carrier groups will not leave the armed forces short of needed capabilities. Raptor is the most advanced fighter aircraft that is extremely stealthy and very popular in the Air Force, but it isn't the only component of the air dominance issue confronting the Air Force. The cut in the number of Navy aircraft carrier groups in the budget plan have attracted some opposition from the lawmakers.

Funding seen for Raptor, DD(X), others Rep. Young: Military needs more money, but hurdles loom

Article Abstract:

Rep. C.W. Bill Young, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee defense subcommittee stated that the Department of Defense's (DODs) proposal for the fiscal year ending September 2007 is not sufficient. The funding is required to pay for both ongoing procurement programs countering large conventional foes, while also obtaining new technology for the war on terrorism.
