Most shocking to me was that UK has only 150 fast jets, I always knew they got stuff all F-35's but always assume they had lots of typhoons. Compare it to the RAAF less airframes but much greater capability. RAAF today is 55 F-35's, 24 Super hornets and 11 Growlers
Especially considering the population differential, Australia 26.5 million UK a whisker off 69 million.
