Just like the US army Air Force powered its P-51s with Packard-built licensed Merlin engines.

Used for air patrols of Patriot missiles in the mid west

So the USAF is buying more foreign aircraft.

[@cthu1hu42o]

Started building the helicopter in Philadelphia and Boeing adapting it for military use at its Ridley Park, Pennsylvania facility.... Those are not foreign..

[@richardpearcy6149]

Actually Boeing is building them for Italian AgustaWestland. The last time I checked Italy is foreign.

[@paolocarpi4769]

@@richardpearcy6149 as Italy is buying foreign F-35. Should Italy stop buying it because is foreign?

[@Thedoctv]

Why spend double the money in ideating and building a new aircraft if what you want already exists. You did that already with the T-7 instead of buying the M346
