Considering the leading role the Netherlands wants to take in international politics, yet again they will be stuck with a fighter that will not be interesting to coalition forces in international operations, just like the F-16 was before the MLU.
All of the fighters left in the offering are short range point defence fighters, designed to be cheap to build and used after the air dominance fighters (Eurofighter, Rafale, F-15 and F-22 in the West) have cleared the airspace.
