8/10/17 F-35, P-8 and New Allied Capabilities
In this Special Report, we look at a number of areas in which core allies
have created new capabilities, which compliment and can supplement US
capabilities. The F-35 and P-8 are laying the foundation of global
combat learning and at the same time allies are operating, developing
and deploying new capabilities, which clearly compliment these new
combat capabilities as well.
Recently, the Minister of Defence for the UK made the argument for the
US opening the aperture with regard to non-US systems. But it is not
simply a question of trade policy – it is about getting serious about
rapidly equipping a US combat force which needs to prepare for the
certainty of high intensity combat.
