Because things like this take generational building of knowledge and expertise to pull off. We have very little expertise here, and a lot of hard learnings and development of people, institutions and infrastructure to pull it off.

It doesn't mean we can't do it, it just means the timeframes are way longer than what we need now.

A great way to jump start this would be to sign up with Saab, which will lead to manufacturing, operations and maintenance knowledge being imported from Sweden to get us up and running a lot faster than we could do on our own.
