Both the XP-1 and the C-X are being marketed in civilian versions, which IS allowed for export.

So, have your favorite airline buy some, then re-sell them to the MOD for fitting-out with the MPA avionics/weapons suite.

If they can get the airframe bugs fixed, here is your A400M alternative too (same acquisition shell-game required).
