>The TSR-2 was abandoned due to cost overruns. The F-111 would have been cheaper...but even that was abandoned and eventually the Tornado came along...not a US aircraft.
Well done for skim reading Wikipedia. That is pretty much the excerpt from the top of the page shortened even more to take out key details.
Tsr2 was cancelled in 1965. Tornado entered service in the 1980s. Big gap to have no planes at all...
>The F-111 would have been cheaper
"It was decided to order an adapted version of the General Dynamics F-111 instead, but that decision was also later rescinded as costs and development times increased."
Filled in the gap for you
Tsr2 was cancelled due to American blackmail, neo-colonial bullying. A skim read of Wikipedia doesn't refute it
