  That wasn’t the point — the point was that its normal for the delivery of weapons to take some time.
context: Weapon deliveries always take YEARS. The weapons that the United States sold to Taiwan under George W. Bush took 4 years to deliver. And that’s not taking into account the pandemic or the war in Ukraine.
  It's the same as when Australia ordered submarines from France and then canceled. >
  
  I don't think there is anyway AUS would have cancelled if it wasn't for the tech transfer the UK was offering though.
