Once the jet has proven that it can be deployed and operated normally, if a partner nation is willing to invest, it may be assigned the regional responsibility for repairing the nose landing gear.

No mention of how anything related to stealth materials/coatings or other sensitive technology will be "assigned". But in any case it will be done on the JSFPO's determination of "best value".

So what becomes of the Netherlands' or Italy's or UK-Norway's plans to carve out big shares of support work?
