All forgetting that if the decision is made to scrap JSF and replace it with whatever, it will be made on the basis on saving money and not on relevant military capabilities.
That is more or less why the RN will end up with a single conventional carrier, carrying Rafale M as it primary aircraft, and an exact sister ship to the proposed French carrier. The JSF, or a marinated Typhoon, might have potential military advantages, but they have huge budgetary incertitudes. Rafale M is proven, excellent, and available now at a guaranteed cost.
