Come avrai sentito, gli Stati Uniti sono contro di impedirci di usare le nostre armi contro la Russia, anche se siamo stati attaccati. Questo è più o meno quello che stanno facendo ora con l’Ucraina se non si piegano al loro piano di estorsione: https://www.reuters.com/business/us-could-cut-ukraines-access-starlink-internet-services-over-minerals-say-2025-02-22/
È troppo tardi per annullare l’acquisto dell’F-35? È stato scelto per poterci trasportare bocconcini, ma questo non accadrà mai ora. Inoltre, alcune apparecchiature possono essere disabilitate dagli Stati Uniti se volevano (revocare le chiavi GPS, non dare codice per i missili di programmazione/sblocco …), motivo per cui Israele ha rifatto l’intera elettronica dei loro F-35.
Is it too late to cancel F-35 purchase?

They probably could fuck with the F-35’s but at the same time if they did that it would completely wipe out their status as an arms exporter, which would nearly collapse their military industrial complex because the manufacturers live off of the exports.
Alienate Russia then the US? What a great plan of yours.
The reason we must take the F-35 is because the US will not adapt the [B61](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/B61-kernwapen) gravity bomb to be compatible with any European fighter jet.
The entire reason Belgium has the air force it has, is to fulfill its NATO mission of delivering those bombs to Russia in case of a nuclear conflict. Those bombs are not in Kleine-Brogel they say. Pinky swear they are not there. They say. (they of course are)
Therefore. F-35 it is.
Is this silly? Sure it is. Will our pilots survive such a mission? Of course not.
Another reason is because The Netherlands has the same NATO mission in that case, and also had to choose for the F-35 for the same reason. Belgium and The Netherlands will obviously (and already do) cooperate together with their air forces. To have two different planes to operate is too much overhead for a small country.
Well already a few are delivered to the training site in de US so whar about those then?
Canceling is just not a option anymore now. What we going to use then? We are already to far in the whole changing of everything.
If we reason like Trump we can cancel any time with no repercussions
We shouldn’t but we also shouldn’t buy more at this point.
Teo just anounced he wants to buy more.. always wondered why not eurofighter. In all aspects aside of one eurofighter is better.
