    The Volvo one was a license built US engine.

    If they want European the choice is the EJ200 that’s on the Eurofighter. It’s a little less powerful than the US one they’re using, probably why they choose the is one. But apparently has room to become more powerful if they take on additional design work.

      i don’t know how much of the f404 was left in the rm12, it was pretty extensively modified.
