Users of the F-35 have to send their data through U.S. controlled systems, depend on the U.S. for mission critical software updates, and cant even independently test their own jets outside U.S. soil. There is a country that has a full exception to this. They run their own maintenance facilities, have their own software layer running on top of Lockheed system, their own EW suite, and significant control over the data flows. They negotiated this precisely because they understood the dependency trap.
In addition they requested modifications to allow the F-35 to carry nuclear weapons. The naivety of the Dutch Defense Secretary in thinking all have the sames rules is what would be expected...Guess the country name... |
