Palestinian/far-left terrorists living in the uk broke into a uk military base and damaged a number of aircraft before escaping. No security anywhere.

The UK has allowed a large antisemitic network of agitators to fester for some time, who have been smashing up jewish businesses for some time with little/no punishment. While seb likely encourages and supports this, it is a massive black eye for the nation.

Meanwhile this UK f35 is left abandoned at at a random airport in india and the sebs dont know how to get it home, or even guard it.

This is why you shouldnt be allowed to access the full versions of us military tech.

Children get kid toys that are not as capable as adult versions.

I'd say that's some embarrassing shit, but it could probably happen here too.

Sam:

I'm sorry, we have an F-35 forced to land due to *technical faults* that we can't just send in RAF engineers to fix due to the US contracts requiring US civilian firms to do it because you won't share "IP" to give your companies a captive market in after sales support and you think this is an advertisement for how foreigners shouldn't be allowed "access" to your brilliant products?

There's a reason we are building our own fighter this time around, and it's largely due to this nonsense.

If your product was any good it wouldn't have broken down, and we wouldn't have to be flying in civilian contractors of the UK subsidiary of whichever shitty US aerospace firm it is that owns the IP to do servicing.

Seb already knows they're gonna buy whatever next Lockheed Martin jet the US tells them to buy.

Just blowing billions into a project that you're gonna reject so you can pay twice as much to Sam.

Most foreigners can be trusted. But not you.


"If your product was any good it wouldn't have broken down"

Lol you ran out fuel because you are bad at math.

F-35s suffer critical part failures every 25 hours of flight time. It broke down.

But you can be sure IP protection is causing significant hassles for the IDF right now. It has its own programme suite immune to US turning off the aircraft (as opposed to everyone else), but there is still a shitton of proprietary stuff that is protected in the same way Seb's F-35 is.

Corporate down stream revenue trumps even Israel. I posted earlier about the US Navy suing for "the right to repair" so it can fix the cooking ovens itself and feed the 4500 people currently living off MREs.

Sam:

If it ran out of fuel, why are we flying civilians out there to fix a technical issue?

Pillz:

Nope, we have a collaboration with Japan and Italy to build Tempest.

"why are we flying civilians out there to fix a technical issue?"

Who knows. Probably because either you or the indians broke it while attempting to refuel it. But theres plenty of ways for kids to break adult equipment if you dont keep a close eye on them.

Hard to say who is less competent(uk or india) but nothing would surprise me with you or them.

Your constant need to try and pretend you are better than other people comes across as desperate rather than superior you know.

No. I merely speak the obvious. If that offends you, too bad.

There are plenty of awesome people i compliment for their superior performance out there. You aint one of em.

Yikes, even worse optics when you inevitably don't adopt it

Also interesting you team up with fascist Italy and xenophobic Japan. Maybe the UK can MEGA

You know Eurofighter was a similar venture right?

Of course we are going to adopt it.

I think pillz is still kinda pining for that Canadian jet the US made them cancel.

Ya but the eurofighter sucks.

The canadian arrow didnt suck it was just too expensive. The contemporary f104 was 5 times cheaper and perhaps half the plane. Bad $ math for the avro arrow.

Apples and oranges.
