Firstly: Why does the US have a say in that?
Due to integral parts of the aircraft coming from the US. As stated, the engine is from General Electric, giving the US a lever to block the sale. This is quite common, especially for engines, which are very expensive to develop, and as long as everybody get’s along, that’s no problem.
That also was a problem for the Russians in their civil aviation when western companies left the market. Even new Russian airplanes had so many parts from America/Europe that they had to first be “Russianised”.
In our case here it clearly shows the urgent need again to decouple from the US as fast as possible. Especially in defense, all key parts should be from Europe.
Secondly: Separation from the US new imperialistic ambitions starts at the personal level. Use Deepl instead of Google for translations. The quality is better as well.
Absolutely true!
Ich bin so hin und hergerissen. Einerseits sehe ich ihn als den Avatar, den wir hier gerade echt brauchen. Andererseits sehe ich seine müden Augen und denke, dass der Brudi einfach Hängematte unter dem Schäfchenwolkenhimmel Schleswig-Holsteins verdient hat.
