England Felt Dissapointed in F-35 Program

England felt puzzled and dissapointed after US  stating that the main software sistem  of Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) F-35 will not given to other countries outside Unitet States.  Whereas England is the most important country among eight countries outside US that involved in JSF program.

London plans to buy up to 138 F-35 fighters. As one of countries that categorized in Tier One, England also has equal rights to change the design and the capability of F-35 to suit their needs. To  prove its seriousness England donated funds up to 3.3 billion dolar in JSF program.  That’s a lot of money. Those donation was far more than the donation of other countries that joint in JSF program.

The facility of the software located in Eglin air base.  That made England and other contries in JSF program objected because of cost factor. England originally wanted to install their own weapon to F-35, but they cant did it without the access to the source code. There will be a possibility that London will reduce the purchasing amount of F-35,
