If I didn't have a domestic defence industry to support, I think Rafale and/or Gripen would look very attractive. Actually, they look attractive despite our domestic focus...........

Avoids having to deal with the USA and whomsoever happens to be in control - or not.

Plus avoids BAe overheads, although some of those might just be embedded in Gripen.

Don't know about the overheads embedded by our French neighbours, but they seem to do well on defence sales.

I do think that Rafale and Gripen, like the F-16, just look right.......!!
