Unpacking Boeing’s F/A-XX win, plus a report from wartime Ukraine

In this week’s episode of The Break Out, Editor-in-chief Aaron Mehta and Navy reporter Diana Stancy explain what we know — and don’t — about Boeing’s win for the Navy’s F/A-XX fighter, from its expected role alongside F-35s and F/A-18s to concerns about how Boeing will execute two sixth-generation fighter programs.

Then Breaking Defense Europe Editor Elisabeth Gosselin-Malo reports from Lviv, Ukraine, where the country is looking to scale its homegrown defense technology industry as ordinary citizens navigate the realities of everyday life in wartime.
