A bombshell new report is sounding alarm bells about America's military readiness, revealing we need hundreds more advanced fighter jets and bombers to maintain air superiority against an increasingly aggressive China.
The stark reality? Our legendary F-22 Raptor fleet consists of just 185 aircraft - and no more will ever be built. Meanwhile, the F-35 program continues struggling with cost overruns and performance issues, failing to adequately fill the roles it was designed for.
According to defense analysts, America needs at least 300 of the upcoming F-47 fighters and 200 B-21 stealth bombers to maintain our edge over the Chinese Communist Party's rapidly expanding military. But here's the kicker - both aircraft are still years away from full production.
Biden's Military Weakness Coming Home to Roost
This military gap didn't happen overnight. Four years of the Biden regime's failed defense priorities - focused more on woke training than warfighting capability - left America dangerously exposed just as China ramped up its military aggression in the South China Sea.
"We're looking at a potential air power deficit that could have catastrophic consequences for American security," warned one defense expert. "While China has been building fighters and bombers at breakneck speed, we've been focused on diversity seminars and climate change initiatives."
The timing couldn't be more critical. President Trump's second-term focus on rebuilding American military strength is exactly what our nation needs - but can we close this gap fast enough?
Trump Administration Must Act Fast
With Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now at the Pentagon's helm, there's hope for a return to serious defense planning focused on actual threats rather than social engineering. The question is whether American defense contractors can ramp up production quickly enough to meet these urgent requirements.
China isn't waiting. Every day we delay gives the CCP more time to achieve military parity - or worse, superiority - in the Pacific theater. Our allies in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are counting on American air power to maintain the balance that has kept the peace for decades.
The question every American should be asking: How did we let our military advantage slip this far, and what are we going to do about it?
