Frens, anons, autists:

 

The US Air Force is replacing the beautiful, incredible Bell UH-1N helicopter after 60 years of service.

 

The US Air Force is replacing the American-made Bell with those made by Leonardo, S.p.A., Rome, Italy.

 

Is it consistent with an America Made Great Again that our military equipment is being made overseas, and that the biggest budgets America has to spend are still being sent abroad?

 

The Air Force will release $275 million right away for the first four helicopters, due in 2021. The overall contract is worth $2.38 billion and includes up to 84 helicopters, plus training devices and associated equipment.
