what the air force does. we rollback enemy air defenses, we establish air superiority to shape the battle space, with the idea we would create an unfair fight in our advantage. but in the post-9/11 extremist era, that is not what they needed. what did they need from the united states air force? unblinking isr. on-call air support. surgical strikes. the golden hour to help casualties survive and fill in the blanks where the rest of the joint force was. they needed bits and pieces of our air force. more diffuse. fragmented. that is what they needed, and the adaptability of our airmen enable that to happen. how did that project power, though? the way we still do right now. crowdsourcing. quite frankly. the units we normally deploy with our maybe an operational flying squadron and the squadron that goes with them. they will deplo from a couple of bases, they will meet over this now-mature installation over the middle east because we have been doing in over two decades. in the rest of the combat support elements, a

chris gordon, air and space forces magazine. this morning vice chief of staff noted that he was working with your office on airbase air defense. you just noted it as well. so that brings me to my question. that's supposed to be an army mission. should the army be doing more to protect forward bases or should the air force be doing more? and when you're having these discussions with the army, how is that relationship going to look like in the future and how are you going to delineate who does what, especially with resourcing being a concern? sec. dalton: great to see you. thanks for the great question. the general and i are working this real-time with the department of the army. i would say that it is an army mission and in terms of what the department of defense overall is endeavoring to do in theater together is to ensure that we are able to project power forward in these types of contested environments and so it is going to require us growing forward together and defining the specific requirements and timing and sequencing of h

air force chief of staff and readiness.out one hour and 15 minutes.s. >> good afternoon and welcome to gladstone institute. thank you for joining us for what i think will be a fantastic. global planning and many will build operation and most recent service is moisture the air force. necessary changes and focus on. open up the floor moving forward. >> thanks and good afternoon and have been talking about this. there's something we've been working on and we are very steeped in it. what this is about and it's come through for me and i will highlight the for you. because the environment has become more we haven't lined ourselves in the existential threat so i hope to describe that and paint a picture that will take some time somehow we are doing and hopefully that will around being more strategic. brought. strategic agility is a thing we need to respond. operational agility and operate to his age figure. the idea of doing it the strategy was incomplete. we have major threats so they are mobile campaign plans and combatant comma

and i keep asking, having us ask ourselves air superiority in order to do what and able to joint forcemaneuver in a way that a joint scheme of maneuver becomes successful that's what you want to optimize your air superiority for. on the similar advance, i really dare i was talking about the country reason air force can see something or the department of defense can see something is changing but what i was pointing to is the world changed. after the cold war and everybody woke up and said we're in a different environment. and that sort of allowed people to think drchghtly in one way or another in the -- cold war to like we're in a different environment. we're not ever going to war again and that changed a lot of things. 9/11 wow, we're in a different environment a few folks can have a huge impact on large powers and so those sort of thing he is the nation in the way the world recognizing something across the world is really changed with respect to large scale things. we haven't seen that similar event that said wow that's impacting -- our nation right now our nation is just -- there's c

and then this is air force one. this is where air force air force one. this is you see a picture there bob haldeman and next to him is his chief lieutenant larry higbee and they obviously are drilling me with questions and hold them and has a skeptical look on his face. like are you kidding me and to his left is dr. henry kissinger and in back is winston lord who later became ambassador to china julie pino one of the secretaries and kissinger aid william howe and on the far back on the right is mario hartley who was a kissinger secretary and and we're working we we were always working. i mean it's almost impossible to underscore the amount of energy, we put into everything that we did. 24/7 this is a meeting of my we picked up some chinese leaders on the way into beijing and i am sitting at a table aboard air force one going through what would be our plans upon arrival and beijing? and here's the president this this is a great shot because it's so so representative of what this man was all about. he's got the briefing books in front of him. he's working.

i knew he'd been in the air force. it was an old uniform in, the basement, a couple of other little points around the house. that's it. he always said, i will tell war stories or you're not to get any war story out of me. so about six years ago, he'd been living at home until was about 94 at macular degeneration. it was getting a little dicey to happen, you know, around the house, even with some help and so he went off to a home, a veteran's home. it turned out we were starting to clean up the house the only house our family had ever lived in. needless to say, there was a lot of stuff in it. i think i see everybody nodding their head. got that just layers of memories and and time and just the too muchness of every little thing. so cleaning up one day in a small drawer with his cufflinks and tie clips, i found some small pocket sized notebook pages folded over, tossed, sitting there as they had for almost 65 years. no idea what this was. i picked it up. it was a diary it was an account of each bomber mission he had flow

the shaw was dreaming about establishing a powerful naval and air force, but kennedy was not interested even in hearing about his fantasies. the shard would go to the us to inspect american forces military drills and would watch the us launchers that would blast off missiles into space. he would even inspect the spaceships. and he was replaced by johnson, after he left, the grounds were paid for someone to ascend to power, a big chunk of whose presidential campaign was funded by iran's shaw richard. the shaw was certain that nixon would not forget his big favor now to supply the army the major financial resource oil اگر ما هنوز در بستن بوده مملکت ملاحظه داشتیم یا هر وسط تابستان همیشه صحبت از این بود که خب. the shaw had one constant obsession and that was to reinforce and expand the army as much as possible and the only way for him was to use the oil revenues the shah. was following two steps: one, to increase oil revenues as much as possible, and two, spend those revenues on purchasing military equipment and expanding the army, but as history has testified, the us was pursuing a differe

at the cannes festival, air space in belarus today is the day of the air force of the air defense forces. the president sent congratulations to the personnel and veterans. today, the air force is thousands of officers, pilots, highly qualified navigators, engineers and technicians, communications and aviation logistics specialists. and at their disposal are supersonic fighters, combat and transport helicopters, mi families, attack aircraft and... performing the task, we will also continue to live, i congratulate the veterans of the armed forces, veterans for the experience that they passed on to us, a magnificent holiday, all the personnel of our branch of the armed forces on the holiday, because i want to wish you happiness, health, peaceful skies, success in your work in service for the further benefit of our country. the history of belarusian military aviation was written by more than one generation of people in uniform, who... with their labor made a significant contribution to ensuring the security of the country. today, our troops are well equipped and have highly intellectual reso

and here it should be noted. that the last report of the air force stated that the army aviation and the forces of the air force of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine were involved, therefore, in principle, i want, well, by rights, so to speak, a former officer of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, i want to point out that it is necessary to observe subordination, and either the president or the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine must report on this information. this is very correct. and there was also an interesting fact that you talked about so much between the lines that... when they shot down this massive raid of the shaheds, previously military aviation was not always used to shoot down the shaheds, well, yes, three dots, we will definitely be in this conversation, let's note , that an example of the use of aviation means to intercept air targets was the massive shelling by iran, israel, then most of the air means were involved and all the missiles were intercepted, that is, in fact , aviation can work much better in missile interception than.

air force one. we are all questions at him. he comes, speaks to us and then goes up the the the steps the engines of already are on and they start rubbing up and we go up the back stairs and before takeoff, i try to feed off of all the audio that i've got the on the old 740 sevens there are more there's more than one air force one that's explained the book, too. but there are these planes that are. and once you get inside the fuselage, even though you have no cell phone. so i would be standing on the back trying to, you know, get the wi fi signal to feed this audio to the the the npr cloud that we use. and you know the flight attendants like trying to grab me and get me on the plane because you don't keep the president waiting or the pilot of air force one. so a lot of one thing goes wrong and. you've really ruined your day and the day of a lot of other people because have hourly newscasts waiting to get this material, especially the president said something significant. so that's a taste of what th

, so the three of us are representatives of the main branches of the air force. air defense is not only popular missile troops and aviation, there is more. radio engineering troops are those who see the air force inside the country and far beyond its borders, it is the second largest type of armed forces after the ground forces, only in peacetime it is 50 00 servicemen, now they are much and much more, in 2018 after returning from toos and the end of the contract, i decided to dismiss from the ranks armed forces to go to civilian life, which i succeeded in principle, found myself in the it field, worked very well, everything worked out for him, but unfortunately, fate made its adjustments, i had to return to the ranks of the military, on february 24, i received the news, four in the morning . reported that she was giving birth, at 6 in the morning she ran into the room and screamed, it has started, and i tell him, i know what started, it started at four in the morning, he tells me, no, he says, the war has started, and the first , what i did was, when everyone wa

for what you have done, i hope in court, if you can get a combat general, the commander of the air forcese this, i think it will take a lot to work on it, i think that this story will be solved, there is definitely information during the war that should not be discussed by people who have no idea about it at all... from the submission of a person who is also not clear from which, with what motivation this information is voiced, well, but now we will to talk about the city where, unfortunately, another tragedy happened, kharkiv. oleksandr skoryk, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i congratulate you, you know, you just said about quite sensitive information, every time i make a comment, especially after arrivals, i am very sensitive to '. to the fact that it is possible to reveal even this city, like today in kharkiv there are five arrivals in completely public places, places where a large number of people are deployed, a high-rise building between the 10th and 11th floors, a park where people walk, just a 14-ye

defense specifically there is not a closer relationship and specifically between the army and air force inside the department right now looking at the analysis of what are the most effective ways to contribute to the airbase air defense and i am really encouraged by the comparative advantages which is the ability to work jointly. >> we will come back to lots of other questions. >> the bill on the competitive advantage to operate we are seeing that more than we've ever seen before and i think it is something that the adversaries count out against us. i didn't think we would be able to fight a joint and they didn't think we would be able to with our allies or with our commercial partners. so what we are learning from we also go to a similar form to do that. i think the initial days for us here in this group acknowledging the reliance on each other from a program perspective, like i need some stuff the space force is going to give us where the air force, so that understanding the requires you to be a little less parochial and a little bit more thoughtful and so this effort which has been g

the cia and the air force? and you know that the years since has been the you s.r. 71, the a-12 oxcart, the stealth fighter, the stealth bomber. you know, the stealth b 21 bomber just had its test flight in november last fall. so these programs are still out there. but the question me is, what are the sightings that the u.s. government thinks are ufo sightings and what are the ones that they can't explain and? that number over time is, somewhere between as high as 20% and generally considered closer to about 5% that the government can't explain an arrow in, its work with the navy pilots and other encounters it finds about 2% of ufo sightings. it can not explain with you know known known known phenomena on known test flights known you know other manmade technology. and to me of course like whatever is interesting the answer to the mystery of ufos a new ap is in 2% of sightings that the government itself can't explain. i was wondering what your access is to find out things like it was a video online or on cable o

, because in principle, if we talk about what was carried out by the air defense forces, it was both bombing and launching the same anti-radar missiles themselves to destroy the enemy's air defenses and launch air-to-air missiles, but those for intercepting air targets or for intercepting missiles, but it should be noted that in principle, if we are talking about the use of this very weapon, which in principle was also previously used on mig-29 aircraft, but what should be noted here is that the aircraft were converted in order to be able to use american weapons, so now there will be full operational functionality, that is, we are talking about the fact that there will be weapons will be used from the aircraft on which it was originally planned and developed, so in principle a... here the range of possibilities expands and i would not pay attention, for example, to the remark that ukrainian f-16s will be able to fly only 40 km to line of combat or to the border with the russian federation, as if to avoid falling under the possibility of defeating russian air defense means, it should b
