The J-20 is outside of the 5th generation fighter circle. Not enough is known about the Su-57. Russia has only 3 or 4 and they do not fly beyond Russian air space. The Nazi's were the first to utilize jets, but it didn't help them much.

The UK is the 6th largest economy in the world. Also 50% of the world's important inventions came from the UK going on a Canadian research. Also Japan completed a similar research project. They concluded that Britain was responsible for 55% of the world's inventions and innovations. Plus the UK is 3rd largest holders of American debt. Of around $800 billion dollars.

"In service by 2035, " given the way that the world political situation has nosedived in the past couple of years, even 2030 is probably too late. Anyway, given the British government's usual form, Britain will have canned the project (or at least, Britain's involvement in it) long before then, on the grounds of cost.

A "regional medium power?" Ouch!

UK/Italy/Japan are a winning team! Though we must NEVER give any GCAP access to Germany and/or in particular, France, as it'd be an open invitation for the loathsome EU central institution to subvert the project.
