[quote]US Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne warned against cutting back production of the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in a speech on 19 September, saying that any reductions in the stealthy fighter force could embolden potential adversaries and damage coalition ties. 

[u]Wynne said that the US can ensure it maintains air dominance by sticking with a nearly USD300 billion plan to buy more than 2,400 F-35 fighters. [/u]

"I need the JSF to come along," said Wynne during at a 19 September briefing sponsored by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), a Washington-based think tank. 

Wynne directly linked the need for the F-35 to the potential threat posed by China. He rejected a new CSBA study that suggests cutting back the JSF order and investing in a long-range bomber to penetrate deep into enemy airspace. 

"The last time I [traded stealth fighters for a long-range bomber], I bought 21 B-2s," said Wynne, referring to the small US force of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers. "How big do you think China is? Think about that."
