BIG Boost To B-21 ‘Raider’ Stealth Bomber, The Successor To B-2 Spirit, As US DoD Reveals Its FY2026 Budget

A group of senior Defense Department and military leaders unveiled President Donald Trump’s proposed $1.01 trillion national defense budget request for fiscal year 2026 on June 26 during a media briefing in the Pentagon.

The request includes $848.3 billion for the discretionary budget, along with the $113 billion expected from the Reconciliation bill that is currently pending in the Senate. 

“This historic defense budget prioritizes strengthening homeland security, deterring Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific, revitalizing the U.S. defense industrial base, and maintaining our commitment to being good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” a senior defense official told reporters on the condition of anonymity.

The proposed budget is divided as follows: $197.4 billion for the Army, $292.2 billion for the Navy, $301.1 billion for the Air Force, and $170.9 billion defense-wide. Additionally, approximately $40 billion in the Air Force budget is allocated to the Space Force, representing a 30% increase in funding from fiscal year 2025.
