So is Lockheed Martin, i hope you are aware of the process of getting F16 from them, the troubles we have faced in the past, hope you have heard of the "lost decade"
Sir the private company is not more then ready to transfer technology to its customers for free. It depends on the customer, depends upon relations between governments, the contract drafts, the negotiations, the money involved and a dozen other similar factors. If they write it on there website, it do not means that anyone who will buy the gun will get the tech for sure. I am sure you can comprehend that.
The issue i have is that you are trying to make it sound that it is confirmed that;
- FN is the gun we ARE buying
- It IS confirmed that we ARE buying it for whole army
- A deal is confirmed that includes in-house manufacturing.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
My issue is that any new person will be miss guided and my request is that we try and keep the facts straight. Trails are on going, you sources (that i wont challenge) may have information that FN SCAR is doing best. But that is about it. Anything further is merely speculation as of now, let us not try to present that as a fact. This is my issue sir!
