Because you can't make a copy of it at $5 million a piece.
First you need the plans. How much will they cost from a traitor?
Then you need the factory, the personnel, the tooling, the materials, the expertise and the test program to make sure your copy doesn't fall out of the sky when your Microsoft fly-by-wire system gets the blue-screen-of-death.
F5 Freedom Fighters you can probably make copies of for $5 million a piece.

IAF,
Charles Lindbergh was the poster boy for the isolationist movement and the Nazis made a lot of it. It was also a significant movement that caused FDR many headaches, it died only on Dec 7 1941.
What industry in the US was attacked from the air?
Then I did some actual research and learned the actual truth, instead of listening to journalists repeat hackneyed old sayings.
Blitzkreig was practiced and perfected for the first time in Poland. The only thing the Condor Legion tried out in Spain was at Guernica.
The BEF was practically the entire British standing army, it even included most of the Territorials.
The first defeat the Japanese suffered was at Milne Bay in PNG. The Aussies (again!) drove off an amphibious landing after it had landed.
What major actions in the Atlantic or Med did the USN take part in?

Can you actually read , did I ever say that american industry was attacked from the air ?
Try reading next time you write!

I never repeated any thing about british betrayal, i merely said they didn't put up a decent fight before the battle of britan.Well it would see you have a lot more of reaserch to do and try learnin to read also!

I admit that the blitzkreig in its actual form was not tried out in spain but they did show similar tactics and also blitzkreig was the name given by an english newspaper.
it was actually a type of combat strategy the germans had used fro a long time. The Poland invasion was the throughly mastered version with all the latest tech employed at that time.So reserch my friend , reserch.....
The BEF was practically the entire British standing army, it even included most of the Territorials.
I can understand the british saying this but not someone else.The BEF was only 12 divisions of the actuall total 50 full and part time divisions of the british and territorial army.Here's a link our british friends forgot to learn at kindergarten.www.schoolshistory.org.uk...

Agian balh, blah...... that i already know.
So you are saying that the aussies would have taken over japan if we had only given them time. THe us war effort in the pacific was insubstatial according to you...
Well I think you have much much more reaserch to do, so times a wasting!
Oh and about that USN in the atlantic , have you heard about a book called History of United States Naval Operations in World War II: The Battle of the Atlantic. Go read that or buy it for just $10 on ebay and then we'll talk.
Go and try to read my friend and you will remember the time you were 13 when you could actually read!.....

If they made it without the stealth what is the point?
You couldn't do that even if you tried , you could at best make a mock up of hte original.
Can your engineers actually design the avionics, emp radar, guidence and vectored propulsin to drive your mock -up
I think like every thing else you make you could only copy design if you tried hard, not all the specs that actually make it truly wonderfull.
I think India is going the righ tway about developing aircraft, even though their LCA looks lousy I have heard that they actually built everthing from scratch with the exception of avionoics and are now building their own engine for the plane.
The down side about this procedure is it takes a lot of time to do this( about 15 years in the Indians case)and by the time you complete this you would have created an outdated machine, but the experience you gain and the professionsal skill and manufactureing methods would be beyond value.

My good friend hawkssss on India and China's airforce
In terms of airforce, both are comparable in technology while we have a huge numerical advantage and we produced huge numbers of planes such as upgraded J7s, J8 etc and the new J-10 is under mass production and is exporting the FC-1 while india doesn't make ANY, ANY aircrafts and their air force is called "flying coffin". Please don't even mention LCA, which has failed a test in Russia just recently and they crashed 3 Mirage 2000 last month along. (yes, I can provide all the source you need on these)

We have our own trainer FTC-2000 while indian airforce's training is so bad that they are called the flying coffin and they had to buy some british trainer recently. See again, they can't make crap.

Why not mention the LCA, so it failed a test. So did F18, so, I'm sure, did J10. The problem is that the Chinese won't put out the full story. The V22 Osprey has suffered failures. Should we write off the entire US air fleet?

Obviously you do,thats why you responded and in doing so you have once again proven your callowness and the scope and depth of your meger imbecile intellectual
You should have asked them about how they saw through british complacency and used it to their advantage in running amucke across europe

Apparently you forgot to read the links in the bibliography. What does it have to say about the BEF?
So, how many actions were you involved in? Sank the Bismark, did you? Routed the Italian fleet, did you? Stole the Enigma, did you? Remember where Norway is, do you? Know what Cape Matapan is, do you? Or Cape Spada? Visit Taranto Harbour, did you?
All your big fleet actions were in the Pacific. Against the IJN.

Actually IAF you never said that Britain did put up a decent fight at the Battle of Brtain. What you said was that Britain ''sat and begged for help when Germany attacked' while America 'fought them and won'. This is how you got yourself embroiled in this whole argument.
Obviously you do,thats why you responded and in doing so you have once again proven your callowness and the scope and depth of your meger imbecile intellectual
What, for example does 'meger imbecile intellectual' actually mean, could it be that you meant 'meagre imbecillic intellect'? Which is what you seem to possess.
Your views of Britain are also very warped. America didn't invent free speech you know. In fact that is where arguments like this always seem to originate, usually Americans 'giving it the big I am' about how great they are and how America is either better than anywhere else or did everything first or best. I'm sure you know how this pushes peoples buttons and is in fact why you post such idiotic ramblings.

What do you mean you don't get it? If its well-known fact then why don't you believe that Blitzkrieg was developed from German tactics before WW2 and you guys couldn't recognize it for what it was!
Where do I defeat my own arguments? I have been arguing all this time about the same thing, Blitzkrieg tactics were employed before WW2 and you guys were dumb not to catch on in France.
What I can't understand is why you cannot, for the life of you ,comprehend what I post? Do you speak another language over there? OR are you mentally deficient in some way?[I wouldn't be suprised!......]
