A change in foreign policy from jet aircraft is correlated to the ability for these aircraft to be nearly anywhere in the world and provide a formidable defense and offense in the air. Shortly after the Vietnam War a sort of arms race developed. With the successful use of jet aircraft in Vietnam many countries wanted to advance their jets to have the most formidable aircraft in the world (Clarke, 2004). For example, the USSR began to research and develop aircraft that were arguably better than American aircraft at the time. In return the United States developed faster, more maneuverable, and effective fighters. For example the United States inventory gained the F-18. The sort of arms race caused by jet aircrafts effects on foreign policy has directly affected our maritime
