And Iran has shipped some of their F14s to China to be refurbished, which China can now easily do, due to the technology transfers that have occurred for the military manufacturing they are doing! Ain't that cool? The Tomcats will be back in the air to attack Israel some day.
Iran was the first thing I thought of. When we pulled out of Iran, we did so knowing that their American supplied airforce wouldn’t be flying. Now our defense contractors don’t even know where their products are made or where the technology is going.
