Fair enough. I take the point but
@Hodor has dropped the name for the second time. The 16 line is nearing finishline in the race. They have thought to outsource wings to Indian company. What if we have made a counter offer? Why would it not be more suitable for the US entering another generation of fighters to palm ofc some work to third world countries who can take off manufacturing of parts which are labour intensive. So wings and tails are ours Central fuselage is theirs till we develop expertise. Iam just taking the thought forward. It also ensures US intersts in the region remain relevant and the plant is of no value to theChinese as they have moved on as well.
