I know the most evident reason: If you want to be part of NATO you've got to pay your dues to NATO's overlord military industrial complex.

Eurofighter Typhoon is produced by 4/5 NATO member states, and there is also the Rafale by France.

It is not NATO which enforces that. It is the superior spending and technology the overlord ;) is producing which makes every competing product a tough sell regards its pricing.

And yes, you spent your money with friendly nations.
