What if we were all like India?

So, we have just had two very thought-provoking threads on what if our air arms had had to standardise on one fast jet in a particular decade (just to pre-empt, my vote goes to F15 for 80s and also the 70s if we relax the had to be in service for at least half the decade rule)

The opposite question now; what if your air arm was told to maximise economic, trade, military and political links with other nations by buying small numbers of air-frames from as many different supplier nations as possible. In short what if we were all like India?

My starter

UK MPA replacement

US – Boeing Poseidon to protect the SSBNs
Sweden – SAAB Swordfish for ASuW and South Coast ASW
Japan – ShinMaywa US-2 for SAR
