There are bills presented on so many matters.. but very few make it.. it needs majority votes of the Congress..This one won't pass because the the UAE F-35 is a done deal..
There is nothing like tracking,, All F-35s sold around the world to US Allies are linked to the a US base that monitors the computerized maintenance data.. maybe that is some kind of tracking,, but not everyone is happy with that..Germany and Italy for example want a switch to turn it off and on as they desire..and Usrael already made that for its F-35s..
The F-35 is the successor of the F-16,, so it is a logical step for the UAE..
Also the UAE has a joint project with Russia for a 5th generation light fighter.. they have started working on it 2 years ago and we might see the prototypes in 5 or 6 years..
