Air Force, Navy Seek $1 Billion To Buy Secret Lockheed Missile 

The U.S. Air Force and Navy have requested $1 billion to purchase the Lockheed Martin AIM-260 missile, a secret long-range weapon that has been under development for eight years. This request comes after Pakistan used a Chinese-made ultra-long-range missile to shoot down Indian fighter jets. The AIM-260 is expected to provide the U.S. military with an advanced weapon to counter emerging threats. The funding request highlights the continued importance of advanced missile technology for military operations, as countries seek to develop and acquire sophisticated weapons. The article does not provide further details about the capabilities or specifics of the AIM-260 missile, but the significant funding request suggests it is a critical asset for the U.S. armed forces.
