I don't get it, we stipped many of the planes we sold to Israel of their key electronic components and Israel managed to build electronic packages to fit their needs. I don't want to accuse the Brits of whining because if what these bloggers are saying is true someone in the USAF needs to be ***** slapped, but can't they put together the electronic components on their own? Is it just me or does this deal also stink of the White House intervening in a position where their opinion quite frankly is not necessary because nobody in that administration has proven to me that they are capable of understanding the implications of their actions. I read somewhere that the White House tried to cut the planned number of F-22's by 2/3's and instead get the JSF-35. The Air Force needs the best air superiority plane in the world because their aircraft are more likely to go up against the best the rest have to offer, Marine Corps aircraft are more likely to be used in ground attack missions only and the Navy has to compromise anyways because it has to be carrier launch and recovery able.
