Fallout Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Just a bit of news.
1. Though $400,000,000 looks to be cut from the Defence Budget in light of our current financial situation, there has been plenty of discussion that this number could possibly be doubled or more. Which makes this next story very interesting.

2. In a related story and one I posted earlier, South Korea has seen the writing on the wall at least with the chronic delays in the F-35 program and has found the partner they needed to go forward with their Stleath Fighter program, it's just now official.

3. I think we got this within a month in the last patch.

4. Though I just left a similiar question concerning "light gunships" on the PP thread, this would be a different issue for Italy if the program "gets off the ground".
