That literally is the question asked.
So if the Bradley is made by a British company, but used by the US is it British or American?
Is the Eurofighter an American plane because the first powered flight happened in the US?
Not what I asked
Is the Firefly an American tank because it’s based on the Sherman?
“First powered flight” in X country doesn’t mean anything
US Mains seem to think so, but once again not the asked question

It means about as much as where a contractor is located.
First Eurofighter powered flight also happened in Germany, 1 of its 4 creator nations
The Firefly should be added to the US tree based on your arguments.
It uses US components and was trialed by the US military but ultimately rejected.
I mean you guys use this arguement (Which you have completely twisted like you always do) to justify the Ram and Skink. When the US just “trialed it”, the US got X amount of Firefly so they can have one if you want.

The US had more to do with the Ram than the UK does with the M1A2.
US had nothing to do with the Ram outside of providing the lower hull, but please tell me how they had more to do with it.

The hull and running gear are American. What on the M1A2 is even remotely British?
the only part that is of american origin is the lower hull. Everything else is bespoke from britain and the dominion of canada
