The UK is incredibly unlikely to ever get into another major land war so they’ve been hyper focused on naval power.

Sort of, Trump agreed to relax it to 800 km in 2017, Biden eliminated them completely in March of 2021. It was inevitable that they were going to get scrapped by the next president, no matter who it was.
They’re making exceptional progress for sure.

It was for South Korea, a requirement forced on them in order to be allowed access to US missile technology in the ‘70s. It certainly should have been lifted years ago though.

It’s not really a fair comparison since South Korea was restricted on what high-range weaponry they could develop for years and only got the range ban lifted last year by the US. I suspect they’ll be doing lots of catch-up tests over the next few years.

The only people who truly know the aircraft’s capabilities aren’t going to tell. Obviously they see value there to make it worth it though.
