Izi zikhoza kukhala ndi mapangidwe a boma. Ndalama zankhondo zidakwiriridwa mkati mwa tsamba la 739 Budget 2021 pomwe amapatsidwa masamba asanu okha.

Kuti apeze, munthu amayenera kufufuza m'chikalata china cha boma chotchedwa Strong, Secure, Engaged chomwe chimasonyeza kuti mtengo wa boma wa jets ndi $ 15 - 19 biliyoni. Ndipo ndiwo mtengo wogulira basi. Malinga ndi Ayi Mgwirizano wa Fighter Jets, mtengo wa moyo wa jetizi ungakhalenso madola 77 biliyoni.

Ngati wina angavutike kuti afufuze zinthu zotere, angatani nazo? Tiyeni tilingalire zomwe boma lakonza zogula ndege zatsopano zomenyera nkhondo 88.
Funso loyamba ndilakuti ndege zankhondo zomwe zilipo, CF-18s, zagwiritsiridwa ntchito chiyani?

"
Nkhondo, ziyenera kudziwidwa, sizingodya mabiliyoni a madola omwe akanatha kuwononga chilengedwe, imakhalanso ndi mpweya waukulu wa carbon ndikuwononga malo achilengedwe.
Mafunso ngati omwe afunsidwa pamwambapa ndi omwe boma lidafuna kupewa pamene likukonzekera Bajeti ya 2021. Chifukwa chake, tiyeni tiyambe kuwafunsa!
