Actually,that’s what most nations consider it to be.If you want to sell arms to a nation with money to burn,you’ve got to be flexible.Samsung is assembling GE’s engines for the F-15 fighters that South Korea recently purchased,while US companies will provide technical assistance in developing South Korea’s 5th Gen. aircraft.The number of disputes that the US is having with the likes of Norway,Great Britain,Israel etc over the Joint Strike fighter also involves related issues of workshare & technology transfer.
You’re just not getting it, are you?
