Both agree on the fluidity of the situation regarding the introduction of F-16s with JASSMs, noting that while impactful, challenges in delivery and U.S. approval add uncertainty.
The discussion reflects on how capturing attention in defense technology for 2025 will increasingly focus on future innovations, signaling a shift in investment strategies.
