Les Australiens ont acheté le F-18E/F sans appel d'offres compétitif pour remplacer le F-111 en attendant de recevoir leur avion de cinquième génération qui sera, sans appel d'offres également, le F-35.
The Aussies sole-sourced the F-18E/F to replace the F-111, as a bridge to their fifth-generation airplane, which they sole-sourced as the F-35, after whatever evaluation they did, which, as part of the MOU, obviously we were involved with, as were the other eight countries that were involved with the similar evaluation.
