Missing future operators?

Canada, Germany, and the Czech Republic are all missing from this list. 98.127.48.28 ( talk) 03:47, 1 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Canada intends to procure 88 of the F-35A. The Germans intend to purchase 35 F-35As. And the Czech Republic intends to get 24 F-35As. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.127.48.28 ( talk) 03:54, 1 September 2022 (UTC) reply

We add these when there are contracts signed. Neither have one yet and may not purchase the aircraft. - Ahunt ( talk) 11:00, 1 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I think a new section listing possible operators would be useful. T8612 (talk) 09:15, 2 September 2022 (UTC) reply
We don't list things that "might" happen, see WP:CRYSTAL. - Ahunt ( talk) 11:01, 2 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Listing countries that have expressed interest is not WP:CRYSTAL. T8612 (talk) 13:30, 2 September 2022 (UTC) reply
"Expressed interest" does not make them an "operator" or even "future operator". In many cases this is mere political posturing to get budgets approved or to get a better price on a competitor's aircraft. - Ahunt ( talk) 17:00, 2 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Taiwan as a cancelled operator

Similiar to Thailand Taiwan was also considering to procure F-35 jets. But US Department of Defense refused to provide them with such weapons. Shall we also add Taiwan to the cancelled list then? https://thediplomat.com/tag/f-35-sale-to-taiwan/ Kalpesh Manna 2002 ( talk) 14:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Taiwan is also listed in the Failed Proposals section at Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II procurement#Taiwan (like the UAE and Thailand). So, yes, we should add it here as well. Alin2808 ( talk) 15:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC) reply
