If you compete this, I guarantee you they will tell you exactly what their contractual commitment is going to be when we buy these Griffons, Rafales, Typhoons, Super Hornets, and support them for the next x number of years. It won't be estimates. Things can always happen, but the government and the department can then go ahead and budget. We know what it's going to be, year by year, as per contract. We do not know that today with this aircraft. It may be that we'll know it in two to three years, and it may be that it will be 50% lower than any of the other alternatives. All I'm saying is that until we know that, I don't understand why we're committing to buy something for which we don't know the long-term costs.
