The Indians and Saudis are worth having a go for, I think!

I've heard that it's Swedish Gripens that are going to Leeming.
Re: Cobra Warrior 22
Lots of conflicting rumours, but that sounds right.
Rumour is Indians to Waddo and Saudis to CBY.

Indian Aerospace Defence News suggesting 5 Tejas
https://iadnews.in/2022/02/22/exercise- ... i1HcGRbIFkExercise Cobra Warrior is an air exercise conducted by Royal Airforce. This time it is scheduled to be conducted 7th March to 25th March 2022. According to information available as of now 5 HAL Tejas Mk1 will take part in the exercise along with 4 other unspecified IAF support aircraft, which likely will be IL78MKI and C17s.
This will be the first time IAF Tejas will participate in an exercise with foreign Airforces. Tejas has been participating in internal exercises of IAF and in numerous Air Shows for past few years. Recently 3 HAL Tejas Mk1 flew non stop 3000+ km over seas to Changi Airbase in Singapore for the 2022 Singapore Airshow. This shows the confidence IAF now holds in the platform.

Indian deciding not to attend something that's no longer happening
Plus with their abstention vote at the UN yesterday, they might have found the invite being rescinded, even if the exercise hadn't been cancelled?
