When the Congress finds out (or, more precisely, when the reporters find out and start asking Congress about it) that the Air Force is using our taxpayer money to buy Russian airplanes, even if they are built in Poland, they are not going to be very happy. And neither will Boeing, Lockheed-Martin or Northrop-Grumman be very happy, all of whom have oodles of lobbyists, as well as fully-purchased Senators and Congressmen.
Nope, they are not going to be happy. Not at all.
