Schwartz: USAF needs to consider "light strike" fighter


US Air Force chief Gen Norton Schwartz appeared this morning at the Brookings Institute to address the USAF's role in irregular warfare.

During the question and answer period, I asked Schwartz if the USAF needs a different aircraft for the irregular warfare mission, and also if he could specifically address the manned turboprop class, such as the Hawker Beechcraft AT-6 Texan II and the Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano, as a candidate.

The video above is his response. Apologies in advance for the low volume.
