>“Some nations use U.S.-standard SE [support equipment], while others develop their own, which may only be partially compatible,” the report notes. “Adding to this complexity, some NATO members — such as Poland, Slovakia, and Bulgaria — have historically operated Soviet-era fighters like the MiG-29, with SE that is not designed for Western aircraft.”
Isn’t this true for other fighters in Europe also? The Eurofighter has a few tranches now, which would also complicate cross-repairs.

If you know about “right to repair” problems in advanced electronics in anything than imagine it’s even more of a pita in the military. It’s like a patent to repair specific parts. It’s a legal nightmare.
