You are wrong about that and overestimating the ability of America to influence other countries. In Europe the political pressure is to have Eurofighter Typhoons and the ones wanting F-35s are the actual pilots and generals. German air-force chief was just fired because he liked F-35 for their coming Tornado replacement, but the politicians prefer Eurofighter.
“You are wrong about that “
No, I am not. History is on my side.
