KSA placed a big order for Meteors very recently while the US placed arms deals with KSA ''on review'' . The Tories don't really care who they sell weapons to lol.Meteor cost is similar to AIM-120D as it is being used by pretty much the whole of Europe and has been exported to India already.
Future confirmed operators will include Brazil, Egypt, Greece, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and even S Korea.
It will become just as widespread as the US AMRAAM and so have the same economies of scale.
Let's hope our economy can support 1 Squadron of EFT and the infrastructure.
