Leaving aside the pros & cons of selection for an uncertain future can anyone tell me who will manufacture the aircraft? I have seen recently a report that Turkey is expecting to do $12B worth of component manufacture, Israel will integrate their own EW and weapons suites, Japan will build their own wings. As a layman I see that the UK has invested a lot (several billion $) and been told it can't have access to certain technologies. Not a Daily Mail reader, but should I be trying to get on an outrage bus?
