The US won't sell F35 to non-friendly countries, and friendly-countries are already in bed with the US intelligence-wise, where the US typically allow the other countries to use their intelligence-gathering systems, in exchange for the US to get access to the information they gather.

That ends up meaning that all intelligence that other countries intelligence-agencies end up collecting are available to the US.

I'm sure Norway and the US are friendly and exchange lots of information within NATO, but if Norway wants to tell the US how their F-35 moves between various caves for service I'm sure they want to do so in a high level intelligence exchange type of way, and not because some Lockheed logistics system automatically phones home about Norwegain F-35 locations.

Well, thanks to Trump exposing Israeli intelligence and requiring immediate extraction of an agent. Most countries are extremely wary to share shit while the dementia filled man is in the white house.
