And that's pretty much my point in a nutshell. There's just too much NEED for them within the US military and little to no supporting structure amongst the British or other potential recipients.
With aircraft losses at a conservative one per day for the first six months of the war, that's 180 aircraft in need of replacement. Using one produced per fortnight, there's a serious shortfall of 168 aircraft.
Flying against the Soviets is no turkey shoot like Iraq was - losses will happen, lots of them.
