A very sad day indeed if true. The outcome will be announced in the 2021 Strategic Defence and Security Review - I suspect there are a lot of disgruntled people in the military worried about any such development. It sounds like another potential cost cutting measure that could well create a capability gap but we shall see. IIRC, the RAF was the launch customer for the C130J and the UK picked up more that its fair share of the R&D costs.
