Title: F-35 figter plane- If Israel buys- not allowed to put in Israeli components
Post by: Aces High on July 22, 2010, 05:37:08 PM: That's B.S. to me! No deal. Israel should be allowed to put in their parts after they purchase the planes

Maybe it 'voids the warranty'?

Post by: Aces High on July 22, 2010, 08:25:57 PM: maybe I'm going out on a stretch, but maybe they don't want Israel making improvements on the plane, because they simply don't want Israel to have a better plane

From reading this article just now, it appears Lockheed is sensitive about giving up the computer code used in F-35 systems.
