Showdown Brewing over F-22 Sales
It seems that the U.S. Senate is unwilling to export the F-22A to America's closest allies. The House last month approved an FY-07 defense appropriations measure that would allow the Pentagon to export F-22As to friendly nations.
The Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee this week moved to keep in place the so-called "Obey Amendment."
The amendment was introduced in FY-98 to prevent the USAF from selling the Raptor overseas in order to protect its secrets.
