The Government of the United Kingdom has requested …………U.S. government and contractor representative technical and logistics personnel services….
and
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the United Kingdom.
Given the announcement that UK staff can apply for early retirement, effective next year, does this mean the existing aircraft are already largely supported by US staff and/or support is to be carried out at a US base?
By acquiring this capability, the United Kingdom will be able to provide the same level of protection for its own forces and those of the United States.
Is this spin for “The UK is downgrading its capability to that of the US?”
