I understand there are politics involved in the sole-sourcing of the Super Hornet and the F-35, but from a technical point of view, a lot of our ally countries have picked up the F-35. The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Israel, etc., have so and they've done, from start to order, anywhere from 12 to 18 months for the procurement process. We have a very experienced, very knowledgeable, very capable procurement department, so why are other countries, which are much smaller than us and with fewer resources, able to do it, from to start finish, from 12 to 18 months, and it's going to take us anywhere up to five years?
We're going to spend two years sole-sourcing a Super Hornet, which is going to be obsolete in a couple of years. That's not your decision, I understand, but why is it going to take us so long when smaller countries with fewer resources are able to do it in a much shorter time?
