i thought this was part of standard procedure? i know that f35s and i think f22s tend to have the radar kit and other stuff removed before foreign sales go through? like how is that anything but what he's saying?
F-22s are not for sale, but yeah it's pretty standard for countries to sell their export version with lower stats. There's also rumours that the USA has a kill switch that can disable their fighter jets if the operating country is not using it with approval by the USA. There are rumours that Egypt is looking at China's J-10s to replace their F-16s because even if there is no kill switch, the USA will simply not supply the necessary parts to keep the F-16s flying if Egypt uses it against Israel.
