Description[?]:

Mr Speaker,

Vanuku is the pre-eminent military power on Terra - with the economic clout to back up that assertion. It is our intention to make sure that this remains the case despite the necessary reduction in the annual military budget, which received cross-party support.

Over the last few decades we have seen major investment and procurement in the navy and the army and both now boast the most sophisticated weaponry, technology and best trained and equipped personnel.

Now it is the airforce's turn. Therefore, we are announcing today our intention to deliver a new research and build programme to produce a truly sixth-generation, primary multi-role fighter, which will provide superiority in all areas of aerial combat through the next century and beyond.

The new single-seat aircraft will build on the S-10 Tanhri stealth fighter, our current primary fighter aircraft, and the Z-35 multi-role fighter, our secondary combat aircraft. The intention is it will complement the first and will lead to an eventual phase out of the second.

The new aircraft, which has the initial project name of "VX-44" will include a host of features such as: extended mission range; an advanced human-system interface and a sophisticated weapons payload systems as well as post-present-tech sensor and avionics arrays. It will also feature the most advanced engine technology and design features - meaning it will fly faster and further than fifth generation fighters and be more manoeuvrable in any given situation.

It is our aim to develop both a conventional take-off and landing version and a short take-off and vertical landing variant for use with our current world-leading aircraft carrier design.

The programme is currently at the concept and initial planning stage and I can now reveal that the Ministry of Defence has been working with Vanuku's leading defence and military tech companies over the last 18 months to look at designs variants as well as general feasibility, costs and timeframe for the project.

It is the Ministry's understanding that a 35-year programme with an overall investment of 2.5 trillion Vanukean Marks (based on an inflationary-adjusted 4420 figure) is required to research, test, deliver and procure this aircraft in sufficient numbers (this figure excludes ongoing operations and sustainment costs posterior to it entering service). This means the first aircraft could go into active service by the early 4430s.

It is obvious that this will take up a significant portion of the 300 billion annual defence budget but this will provide unprecedented aerial superiority projection for our armed forces and provide a major economic boost for our defence industries and associated tech companies over the forthcoming decades.

Therefore, I will respond to any question or comments before seeking approval from the Grand Council to pursue this programme.
