The US Air Force continues its assistance to the Pakistani government, airlifting supplies into the region on Saturday and Sunday. Three Air Force C-130s, a C-17, and a contracted B-747 flew in more than 200,000 pounds of medical equipment, aircraft parts, and various supplies requested by the Pakistanis. As of Nov. 14, the Air Force has airlifted more than 7.5 million pounds of supplies to Pakistan.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
