I'm sure we know each other, were you in Oman with 5 on Saif Sarea?

I've flown the Typhoon. It is a phenomenal airframe/engine combination, way ahead of anything else flying. The radar works very well. It has fired AMRAAM and the first shot totaled the Mirach. Its also, still, a fraction of the price of an F22.

As for ASRAAM, its an amazing air to air weapon. The range is considerable, the fly-out speed is awesome and it is smokeless. It also has some very clever modes to counter flares and the like. I'd choose ASRAAM over any model of Sidewinder.

Yes, AUS should buy some Typhoons.
