‘Besluit voor JSF is allang genomen’, or you can read the English translation here.^*

While the dutch have attempted to get Eurofighter, Dassault, and SAAB to bid in competition, the problem has always been that they are currently throwing a lot of money at the F-35 JSF that won’t be coming back to them if they buy another aircraft.

They’ve sunk $800 million into this, and unless costs spiral completely out of control, I’d put that at 45%, they are stuck with the plane.

^*I don’t speak a word of Dutch. I read a synopsis and used Google to translate the original.
