Who said anything seeking validation?So we can't do something unless we get a validation from the Americans and the British and the French.

I said that it was unfair to criticize naval planners for not doing something no one else has done before. No other major navy has bothered with a carrier UAV fleet until very recently and for very good reasons.
Even the Turks are only doing it because they got kicked out of the F-35 program. And they are not exactly one of the leading naval powers.
