  1.  @satoshinakamoto12  The biggest customer is the US buying F35 parts from the UK. The UK builds 15% by value of each F35. That means by value the UK exports about 3x as much as it buys.

  2.  @jawarakf  you do know the very basics that partner nations build parts of the F35?

  3. Drone swarms will be one of Tempests weapons. They are complementary not competing.

  4. You saying allowing for the difference in complexity and then don't allow for it. The difference is vast.

  5. It doesn't need to go now. These will only start entering service in 15 years.

  6. It's been a long time since we bought off the shelf.

  7.  @jawarakf  what a dumb comment. First we don't need to reverse engineer we have tech transfer. But also we have already spend billions on the F35 development and billions more on jets we aren't going to throw that away not using them.

  8.  @jawarakf  wow, you talk so much rubbish. The secret formula to what, the materials being used by F35 partners to make the jet? And given partners make parts of the US jets how would the export version be worse. Not to mention part of the appeal is bejng able to share logistics networks. And what would be stolen from the F4, it not like it's a delta wing, and the Tornado, a more advanced plane had been built in the interim.

  9. We have allies, that brings us the numbers. But also it depends where your talking about. The numbers Russia or China can get to the UK is very different to what they have at home.

  10. Its a compilation.

  11. Historically no, but compared to its immediate predecessors perhaps. Basically the end of the cold war gave a bump to its development otherwise it would have come into service a bit earlier.

  12. The military is useless at someone else's job?
