Don't see a 100% move is on, however I'm guessing BAe would love the opportunity to reduce their overheads, in the UK, even more so.

What's more interesting is why they rejected the M-35, F16 and F18s.

How dare you, BAE wouldn't resort to such underhand tactics....

Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of a suitcase stuffed with £50 notes.

They're not bribes it's just foreign aid, never mind that they're building spaceships and stuff.

That's fairly standard with large fighter orders, as the article points out the Hawk and Jaguar were done in the same way. The F16s have been assembled in Belgium, Netherlands, Turkey and Korea.

The majority of the components, which make up the majority of the cost will still come from the regular supply chain. Also the Indian line is likely to be contractually forbidden from exporting and will probably be more expensive than the European lines anyway.

They don't have to, HMG has already done so............
