There were some recent talks about Omanese EFs being almost ready to be delivered. About that.. 
"Trump says the US will "blow up" Oman if it doesn't behave."
"Trump says the US will "blow up" Oman if it doesn't behave."

Well, Oman and Qatar might need the planes to defend their countries???
Even when this story started, I was worried about the possibility that the planes from those countries won't arrive very soon

We are also one of those 10, apparently by the wording.
What a difference a year makes - after every eurofighter partner operator told me in 2025 that they had no plans to fit APKWS for counter-drone, BAESystemsAir tells JanesINTEL and others at Warton today that there is now strong interest from all 10 partner and export customers, following recent successful RoyalAirForce fielding. "It is a fantastic capability!"

Nice to have but for us that would be money wasting if its intended use would be against Drones.

Bro have you checked how much a 70mm hydra class missile is in UK? Plus how much UK is going to charge you for that missile? Plus they buy the missiles from US. UK MOD paid over40000 dollars a piece for them 3 years ago (31.2 million dollars for 768 missiles)
Our Cirit costs 19000 dollars. The money spent stays in the country. It can do the same job. (10000 pieces sold to UAE for 190 million dollars)
These prices may vary depending on customers they are sold to, and the quantity of the sale -economies of scale-. But it has to be remembered that the Cirit in unguided form is under 2 thousand dollars. If we are manufacturing it the cost of it to our airforce is going to be substantially lower.
US approves $31.2m APKWS-II rocket sale to Britain
The US Government has greenlit a potential Foreign Military Sale of the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System-II (APKWS-II) to the United Kingdom, with an estimated value of $31.2 million.

Cirit needs a bit more work for modification, although it is entirely doable. But unlike APKWS, Cirit is canistered; would require a different launcher design.
Re the Cirit sales figure, I think that's from the 2013 sale. You should think about the inflation as well. USD lost like 40% of its value since then. Old prices pre 2020 don't mean anything anymore.
