Also stupid, he was never going to get f35s and everyone around him has them.
Should have played it cooler, taken the f35s, s400s do him no good against anyone he's pissed at, he should have known it then, it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt now.
At this point I don't understand why he doesn't just offer to ship his s400 to Nevada in exchange for F35s, since the platform is very clearly little more than strongman bait. I guess that would require him to admit he got duped.
he wanted F35s but as long as they have S400s it's a no go
what he did get is some extra F16s and upgrade package for what F16s they have
and probably a massive bribe

I can just imagine a whole state of the art SAM system disappearing into Nellis, never to be seen now heard again.
