France wasn't willing to let Italy in on the FCAS, so they didn't really leave Italy with any options. This situation arose because of France not being interested in a larger EU collaboration, not because Italy didn't. Heck, I recall seeing Italy's military calling for the Tempest and FCAS projects to be merged.

Curb and kerb refer to the same fundamental concept, but their usage varies based on regional differences. In American English, curb is the preferred term for the stone or concrete edging that lines the street, separating it from the sidewalk. In British English, however, kerb is the preferred spelling for this very same edge.

Also because it allows France to favor domestic industry, let's not pretend otherwise.

Britain obviously wants this to be its own F-35, which it controls.

I'm British and have always spelled it curb. How embarrassing.
