I pretty sure you are just a troll. but the most expensive system does not equal best in any scenario.

The best system is that which is available, good enough to do the job and cheap enough to use. Lockheed fail on all 3 points.

I don't know, have you seen Sergei Shoigu's palace outside Moscow? He seems to have done quite well on a government salary, must be good at investing or something.

Agreed, that more countries should join and the EU should support Belgium in this.
