Alexander De Croo went to Texas to receive our new F-35s. In the Cactus of 8/9Jérôme de Warzée looks at this visit and this absolutely necessary purchase.
Belgium has made its choice on the purchase of around thirty American F-35s for a budget of approximately 4.5 billion euros. A choice justified by an undeniable argument: it wasn’t expensive. An F-35 is worth 130 million euros, so for three F-35s you have a station in Mons, for four a station in Liège, and for twelve a tunnel and a house of parliamentarians in Namur.
The Americans are doing everything to blend in as much as possible with our state of mind, our centuries-old traditions, since these devices will be delivered several months late. These cuckoo clocks are therefore already a little Belgian, so much so that National Defense is already thinking of renaming them RER-35.
Finally, a conclusion comes to mind, piloting an F-35 is a bit like putting Charles Michel at the head of Europe, with a handle like that, you can only crash.
