Absolutely every European country can make something better than a brick.
And there are high quality planes like the Rafale that aren't PaaS (Planes as a Service) where the owner can unilaterally stop you from using it.
- ExoticPearTree 2y agoYou did read the article saying the US is not supplying "software updates" to the F16s and the planes themselves fly just fine, right?
