The Navy is requesting $133.5 million to research and develop the new destroyer in fiscal 2026, with the goal of procuring the first in the early 2030s.
The DOD's fiscal 2026 budget calls for the Air Force to retire its remaining 162 A-10 attack planes. The Senate's version would have the service keep 103.
“This looks like one of the bigger wastes of money inside your budget," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said of plans to turn a Qatari jet into Air Force One.
