      It’s a British/French coop, but I don’t know if any Americans or their parts are involved in it. I heard the general commander of europe (who is historically an american, and we have the NATO head guy) said no.

      If anyone knows better, I’d love to know!

        From Wikipedia

        The missile was made ITAR-free at the initiative of France.[31]

        So no American components, quite usual for French weapon.
