Except for being on the edge of bankruptcy, Spain had said that they would eventually buy F-35B when its AV-8B+s run out of flight hours. Of course, at the current rate that is sometime in the 2030s.


Australia could buy some... except their government has said they are not going to, period.


Then there is India... oh wait, they have said their next carrier will have catapults so that Rafale can be bought for the Navy as well as having won the Air Force competition.

Brazil has a carrier... but whether they buy Rafale or Gripen for their Air Force they have said will stay with catapult-launched aircraft for Sao Paulo & its replacement.


So who else were you referring to, peter we... adding in the Italian Navy that's only 5 possibles after the USMC & RN... you need lots more to get to your USMC, RN, and "10 more".
