No están comprando la plataforma sino su electrónica.
Exactamente por lo que pone champi sobre el F35 y los quinta, es por la razón que yo decía meses atrás con referencia a la compra principalmente como sistema electrónico del F35 por Australia.
No están comprando la plataforma sino su electrónica.
La verdad es que Australia, con sus Growler, Boeing P-8, 737 AEW&C, MQ-4C Triton y la futura compra de F-35, menudo plantel que tiene de inteligencia electrónica, cada uno dentro de sus capacidades.
Creo que seguimos cometiendo el error de pensar que su electrónica y esa plataforma son dos cosas distintas cuando de hecho no vemos que esa electrónica se ofrezca como algo que se pueda instalar en otro aparato. Ni esa plataforma con otra electrónica diferente.
Para mi que son indivisibles, esa electrónica es capaz de hacer lo que hace montada en esa plataforma

Israel Reduces F-35 Buy — At Least For Now
Dec 2, 2014
In a rare reversal of the national security establishment, the Israeli government has decided to decrease the planned procurement of F-35A Joint Strike Fighters from 50 to 33 aircraft in the coming years... According to Israeli defense sources, the U.S. has agreed to maintain the same conditions for the smaller purchase... Some news reports are suggesting the additional 17 F-35As would be put on contract in 2017.
