Why don't we buy our military aircraft from....

Almost all our military aircraft are built by European consortia or the U.S. As the world now stands, is there perhaps an opening, even a necessity, to take a wider view? Initial posturing prior to negotiations proper, suggest we're in for hard Brexit whatever we want so looking after our interests isnt a priority for them, to say the least. Several areas of the world have vibrant aerospace industry without ever featuring in our inventory; SE Asia, Brazil ((thentucano worked out ok) Is it even so unthinkable we buy stuff from the Russians?
