These two articles show that our allies are saving us a lot of money on our military aircraft. I remember that "Defence One" had an article about Israel buying our F-35s without our radar and armament systems because "our's are much better."

This seems to backup my statements that the world is much more complex than most of us realize.

Sikorsky is a front for Russians spies...
Maybe the founder had good intentions….but he is long gone...

So the last big government contract they got was from Obama in 2014..
They build the helicopters used by the White House...

But I find it suspicious the company has ties to Kiev... :o

Now I see why you took the moniker "sillydaddy." Your post is silly. Sikorsky came to this country (after a stay in France where he designed war planes for France) because the Russian government was going to shoot him. He was a devote Russian Orthodox Christian and wrote several books on Christianity and philosophy. He died in 1972 at the age of 83. He is heralded as one of greatest aviation pioneers in history.
