And as good as the Typhoon is, I don’t think the Rafale or Grippen are exactly slouches. If the Swedes can rustle up decent kit on their own, maybe we should be popping over to Stockholm to see how they do it. With the size of our defence budget, there are days you look around at what dwindling capability we do have and think there must be a better way of doing this.
