There is absolutely nothing preventing this. The difference is that unlike the USA/F-35 program, you won't see it reported. In fact, the same could even be said for European programs. Unfortunately, one of the issues the F-35 must face s that in the USA, there is a heavy emphasis on accountability within programs such as this - for example, where is the equivalent of the DOT&E Reports or GAO reports on the Eurofighter Typhoon? Where are the dozens of news articles carving up the JAS-39 Gripen program based upon some released test report?
