Curious minds want to know

Did it land together with its mission planning system.

This "marvelous" piece of hardware has an integrated spares, logistics and mission planning system which runs ONLY on USA mil cloud. If it is using that system, UK is just a "host" for this "parasite", it is effectively not UK property, as UK needs to talk to said system to assign it a mission plan for it to go and bomb (or fight) something. It is on a benevolent lease.

So, curious minds want to know - did it land with our OWN spares, maintenance, logistics and mission planning system or it is under American command.
