Fokker DVII v Sopwith Snipe...Hmmmm, a pretty even match! But I digress!
In this age of "missile Platforms" where avionics are king, surely the bugs could have been ironed out by now? Please dont misunderstand me, Typhoon is a bloody brilliant piece of kit, it can run rings round anything the former Soviet bloc can throw against it, and can show Rafale a clean pair of heels, probably out fight a F-22, given the circumstances, but why is it taking so long? The Tornado F3 isnt exactly a "Top Gun", and the Jags, bless em, must be near to falling to bits, so lets a get a few Sqns actually flying it in something like an operational sense, and bury the critics once and for all..actions speak louder than words!

Or am I just being Naive?
