But right now, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s where we need to be.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top Air Force leader said that President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed $175 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/30\/behemoth-golden-dome-may-face-lackluster-scrutiny-in-trumps-pentagon\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/30\/behemoth-golden-dome-may-face-lackluster-scrutiny-in-trumps-pentagon\/\">Golden Dome missile defense project<\/a> may eventually have elements to counteract a similar drone attack within the United States. But he expected the Ukrainian offensive to speed some discussions on those defensive capabilities in the near future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt really comes down to finding the resources to meet all our priorities,\u201d he said. \u201cIf all we\u2019re doing is playing defense, and we can\u2019t shoot back, then that\u2019s not a good use of our money.
