From the transcript
Matter of fact, the allies are doing investments in systems that are similar to what we're doing in the US. Been very optimistic. I don't know that any of those things would be considered truly attritable, But if you look at the cost trade with an adversary of CCA with a number of long-range weapons on there compared to the aircraft they might throw against them, it's a really good cost trade for us going forward.
