The government announced Friday that Boeing won a $20B contract to manufacture the military's new F-47 fighter jets. One jet will cost $300 million to make and it will be more technologically advanced than previous generations of fighter jets. Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. John Teichert says the U.S. needs a "leap of technology" to overcome foreign threats, especially those from China. Teichert also offers his opinion on Elon Musk's comments about the "inefficient" need for manned fighter jets.
