Ettei vain olisi meilläkin tehty tälläinen hankinta"mulkkaus", johon Mcdonnell ilolla ryhtyi vai oliko F-18 tosiaan meidän itse keksimä?
Tämä vielä toinen esimerkki, eli edellinen kappale:

Canada originally specified the CF-18s ordered in 1980 for air defense. The government did not specify a ground-attack capability, and McDonnell-Douglas was more than happy to oblige by leaving it out. When 24 CF-18s were deployed during Desert Storm (Canada’s Operation Scimitar), they were only able to perform top-cover missions, which became unnecessary when the Iraqi Air Force flew its surviving combat aircraft to Iran. Without much ground attack capability, a Canadian CF-18 attempted to attack an Iraqi patrol boat with a $50,000 Sparrow air-to-air missile, and missed. Bombing capability was later retrofitted to the CF-18s, but at considerable expense.

Many times, major militaries miss critical elements that end up costing a fortune to remedy—if that is possible at all. The UK’s Ministry of Defense ordered eight Chinook Mk3 helicopters in 1995, but forgot to demand access to the source code essential to certify them. When Boeing was asked to supply the codes afterwards, the company refused. The helicopters ended up un-airworthy and unusable for 13 years afterwards. Ultimately, the problem was partly solved by downgrading the aircraft to the Mk2 standard, and then retrofitting them with add-ons for a capability that should have come off-the-shelf. This was a decidedly inferior and costly Band-Aid fix by one of the best militaries in the world.
