What about "selling" your F-35 options/planes to ITA/JAP.

We are already in the F-35 Game so it isnt a big difference if we increase the numbers.

In exchange you take on Typhoons or some Older japanese plane that will bring you to the GCAP, and you buy your way in the project.

In place of loosing the order i think LM would be more than compliacent.

Not sure about the contractual obligations wrt this option. Used fast jets are not an option given the controversy over the used Hornet deal (unless no other option). Best solution is to keep the F-35 deal and do some serious commitment to GCAP NOW!! If our relationship with the US continues to erode then used/new Gripens or Typhoons with GCAP investment is the alternative....just my two cents.
