    British industry design and build 5th gen fighters components and systems when Fr, German or even Swedish are not.

    Japanese industry supply vast amount of components and composites to civilian airline industry the end result is Mitsubishi MRJ.

    Even a small passenger aircraft such as the MRJ has approximately one million parts-around 30 times the number in a typical automobile. The complete manufacture of our first passenger jetliner was a trial of project management for us, and we had to revise the production schedule three times.
    The first schedule change was due mainly to additional design work. This revision included a switch from carbon-fiber composite materials to metals in the main wing

    Greece and Bulgria are bankrupt irrelevant countries that simply cant afford fast upgrades on system. Turkey case is entirely different. It will be modern system with continous upgrades. Plus Turkey is far more depended economically on Russia that will make it more susceptible to pressures regarding western technology sharing with Russia.
    Russia want Turkey to lead Islamic world against West.

    in meanwhile Russia is trying constrained Turkeys rivals for now and later use it.

    The same approach is applied in Korea. Korea money and technology will be squeezed to Russia.

    I will be honest with you, with the amount of BS you spill here over years, no one care about your opinions anymore. Certainly not me.

    you certainly otherwise you wouldn’t stop . I write less but always correct .

    Moreover, iam not saying that Harpoon isn’t enough for USN, considering that their fleet is bigger than anyone else .

    The previous statement above was directed for you but you still continue.
    how exactly is USN bigger than anyone else?. Look at deployable ships in Pacific against Chinese. deployable does not mean sustainable in high tempo operations. Those missiles need to be reloaded. The primary function of Chinese Navy is Pacific and there improvement in less than 5 years will make them vastly superior to every one else.
    Primary function of RuaN is against Eastern EU and Middleast/Arctic and they are well designed for that task. This Chinese one belt one road will put every thing on road to make seas irrelevant.
    The only function left for USN is to deal with Western EU/Africa and Latin America and that they will deal effectively with harpoons.

    It’s great you are using words like long range, stealthy, reduced RCS and saturated attack with AAM, SAM, Ashm etc.

    B-52 is still used because it is a big bomb truck that can launch missiles from 5000-10000 km aways. You don’t need a fast aircraft that is several times more expensive to do that.

    5000 to 10,000 km?. what is price of those missiles?fast aircraft not expensive. Why all the time B1 flying in Middleast and NK.

    F-2 is not a lightweight fighter. you can buy 10 JF-17 for price of 1 F-2.

    that deal is irrelevant as far as other Middleast countries are concerned.
    Egypt/Saudi/UAE will simply not tolerate Isreal or Turkey getting more advanced weopons or getting any importance.
    Egypt was invited to BRICS summit in China. Putin spend 4 days with Saudi King. they know exactly the importance of Arab world. start with reserve currrency.

    F-35 is built with imported components and designed for higher production rates to keep cost down. those variables will be tested just like F-22 production in previous economic cycle.

    Israel would need to sign-off on any F-35 for UAE deal.

    I would be surprized Israel is mentioned.
    UAE is funding Egypt , Saudis funding Sudan, Qatar funding Turkey. Everyone is diversifying. US certainly needs those exports.

    M2K hasn’t participated in high intensity combat. Twin engine Su-25 are doing upto 6 sorties per day in Syria. M2K has poor record in yemen and is relegated to 2nd tier attack role pending shortage of bombs
