Bingo.....
Here is the reality of the situation: The supplier/country that will offer the easiest financing terms will win the contract.
DGDP is quite annoyed with the Russians thanks to their price gouging tactics.
They have demanded ridiculous prices for a number of army and air force hardware.
The procurement of twin engine fighters is likely to remain in limbo unless the Brits can offer easy finance.
In the meanwhile J-10s are likely to be procured before MRCAs thanks to friendly terms offered by China.
I would have liked BAF to go for Gripens with ToT + training similar to what the Brazilians have done but the BAF leadership are too much of imbeciles to be that pragmatic. A Gripen + J-10C combo in the single engine segment would have been very formidable and sanction proof.
We are not the kind of country that gets sanctioned to begin with.
