Britain in battle with US over fighter plane
Britain is threatening to pull out of the Joint Strike Fighter, the Sunday Times reported, citing unidentified British defense officials.

London wants to pull out due to Pentagon’s reluctance to the transfer of technology, and because of likely increases in the price of each plane.

The alternative plan is to have the Eurofighter Typhoon adapted for the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
