I'd be more concerned that the 2052 records data onto a flash drive which is sent to Elta for exploitation, sorry I meant radar performance monitoring obviously.
Exactly this! The Hornet deal is old news and is dead in the water. Not sure why it keeps surfacing. I guess he’s tried to keep all the issues under wraps.
