I am always a bit concerned when we are told that a key capability can be supplied by other systems.

Unless those are provided by the available fast jets Typhoon and F35 it infers that other aircraft would have to be operated.
That means significant additional cost to that already provided by a fully integrated platform (Tornado).

Anyway, I am sure that the MoD and RAF know exactly what they are doing ......
