The USMC is rock solid behind the F-35B...even more now that we have an aviation Commandant. The US Navy is luke warm to the F-35C. What will the UK do if the US Navy drops the F-35C, the USMC continues with the F-35B and other allies suspected of going with the F-35B continue.
The way I see it, thats a valid option...so what will the UK's options then be???
1. Become the only buyer of the F-35C...
2. Revamp the Typhoon into a carrier model...
3. Buy Rafales...(in light of their recent decisions this is the more probable outcome)....
4. Buy Gripens....
Interesting. Think Defence and SNAFU! are working on a collaboration. Keep an eye on his blog for news on the latest from across the Atlantic.
