[quote]The Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Block 30 Global Hawk procurement will also be truncated, while the Block 40 variant of the high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned air vehicle will be increased.[/quote]

[quote]More than 280 aircraft have been identified in the current budget submission [u]for
elimination[/u] across all Air Force components over the next five years. This includes 123 fighters
(102 A‐10s and 21 older F‐16s), 133 mobility aircraft (27 C‐5As, 65 C‐130s, 20 KC‐135s, and 21 C‐
27s), and 30 select ISR systems ([u]18 RQ‐4 Block 30s[/u], 11 RC‐26s, and one E‐8 damaged beyond
repair).[/quote]

J'en conclue que 18 Block30 seront enlevés d'une commande (peu probable) ou revendus/mis à la casse, mais en partie compensée par plus de block40 à venir.[/quote]
