So you are saying it wasn't dishonest telling the UK MOD DE&S PT in late 2015 that they could demonstrate F-16s in the UK in August of the following year? Same messaging to the Budeswehr in Berlin, ditto the US Embassy in Rome, and at every trade show since 2014? I'd opine the company have known exactly what they have been doing especially as it's incumbent on Israel to apply for TPT from DoS, DoD/DTSA and not the buyer. Also, why would DoS, DoD/DTSA enable TPT to a foreign private entity whose ownership, profit structure, and ultimately leveraged capital is all foreign (non-US) owned? Will Ottawa issue the equivalent of a GOPEA with regards to these defense articles? Will LM even support those jets? Let's not even mention the entire DADS/Debenture Holder/Clairvest legal **** show of a few years back.
