Not even remotely comparable, the MRA.4 programme was for a handful of old airframes bodged into new airframes for one customer, the F-35 on the other hand is a clean sheet design (not matter how flawed it is perceived/proven to be) for several thousand airframes for many customers, not least of which is the US, to try and compare the two is ridiculous beyond belief!
