Why Trump is rushing to max out new AF1 jet

from THE DAILY BRIEF · host Josh

The weaknesses of this new aircraft were revealed to the public after a report from The New York Times stated that the jet did not have an anti-missile defense system as sophisticated as the older model . The older aircraft (VC-25A) was equipped with advanced laser technology to blind approaching missiles and a distraction system ( countermeasures ) developed over several decades. This new jet from Qatar was originally a regular commercial business jet that was modified in a short time (about 10 months) by the contractor L3Harris, so it has not had time to be installed with a complete military system.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-daily-brief--6679022/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
