The actual act of doing . Ace is more
about moving the airplane around from
base to base and keeping , you know ,
where you're operating from
unpredictable , right ? You can conduct
ace with any airplane . Now , if we're
conducting Ace to fight China , I think
you need the effort . You need an
airplane that can operate in the face
of the threat systems that China brings
to the fighting . And if you're using
their top level technology , then we
have to come at that with our top level
technology moving forward right now .
As far as multi role fighter aircraft
goes , that's the F-35 . So , yeah ,
you absolutely need the F-35 to fight
China today .
