Problems with the JSF


If you don't know about the F-35 JSF deal, here you can see alot of the problems that are occuring. Its a tricky situation to just roll over ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) because there is alot of legitimate concern. At the same time, Britain has been the best ally of the US in recent times. Hard to say who is right on the issue, though the author of this article certainly has an opinion. Personally, I think that we would have to have a guarentee to not share arms data with other members fo the EU community. In this case however, not knowing a whole hella lot about the F-35 specs, I think that there isn't a whole lot that we need to protect in the plane. The F-22 is another matter and thats why we won't sell it to anyone.
