Richard Shelby: “The administration's fiscal year 2013 request included funding for production of 36 THAAD missiles annually.”

Russia's launched multiple hypersonic weapons as part of their invasion of the Ukraine and China is continuing to develop its own hypersonic weapons.

I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.

I remain concerned that the Air Force budget request is insufficient considering the needed modernization across the inventory with a rapidly evolving threat.

A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.
