Ummmmm...Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
We have a report that Denmark is withdrawing from the JSF program, and will instead purchase F/A-18 E/Fs.
Here is the Danish report translated.
I'm not surprised.
When you compare the $50 million F/A-18, with the let's-be-serious-here $100 million + F-35, and the fact that with global warming and the potential opening of the Northwest Passage, the Danes will need to patrol around Greenland, it gives a 2nd engine has some real value.
Then again, we could have a denial tomorrow.
