The United States does not have an official language; however, the majority of the population speaks English as a native language (some 82%).

There have been several proposals to make English the national language in amendments to immigration reform bills.[4][5] None of these bills have become law with the amendment intact.

There is a myth (known as the Muhlenberg Vote) that German was to be the official language of the U.S., but this is inaccurate and based on a failed early attempt to have government documents translated into German.[42] The myth also extends to German being the second official language of Pennsylvania; however, Pennsylvania has no official language. Although more than 49 million Americans claim they have German ancestors, only 1.38 million Americans speak German at home.

How many cars can you install your own Turbo Chargers and Inter Coolers and after market stuff without voiding the warranty ?

The Block 60 has AESA radar, has IRST, it’s another story. But as Glitter said, for that price you can buy the Rafale.

I doubt this unless u include the developmental costs that UAE paid for it. It is one of the contenders in the MRCA competiton (a modified block 60) and still regarded as much less expensive than the Rafale.

The IAF is going for engine upgrades on their Jaguars for the same reason poo hot and high performance.

I wonder what Kopp will ask for now. His argument was to get F 22 instead of F 35. PAK FA ?

Great. You don’t get it.
You or Sferrin or anybody else for that matter, can’t prove that “my” country “blindly trusted” or was naive as you say.
The point of this discussion is that nobody knows whether “my” country was as you say or whether the US has gone back on agreements.
Some of us are considering the likeyhood of different scenarios and coming to the conclusion, based on the somewhat paltry available evidence, that the most likely one is that source code has been with held at a late stage.
Others are jumping to another conclusion and then hectoring and throwing insults at those who don’t agree with their conclusion.
Of course it is possible that indeed there was absolutely no agreement whatsoever on source codes, as i and others appear to think that would be somewhat strange. The conclusion then given that the statements from the UK indicate that source code is / was expected, is that the people who did the negotiating for the UK were complete and utter numpties.
Get it now?

No i do not and I will tell you why.

If you go back a few pages Swerve among others said that written agreements on this matter are probably unlikely, ie. you will not have a case in any court because of that. He said that to counter sferrins argument to go to court if they feel the terms are violated.

This is what Swerve Wrote ” You don’t get it, do you?

This is an intergovernmental agreement. It isn’t a contract. Lawyers are irrelevant. “

If there are no written agreements it shows you were wrong and naive in blindly trusting Americans thats all.

Rafale interior, like that of cars come in Black and Beige 🙂

Global Warming ? and F 35 Codes WOW ~
