So are they simply trading in the ADVs or replacing the F5s as well?
Having had a chat to a couple of local drivers (airframe) around the oasis yesterday, they seem to think that there will be hundreds of Typhoons arriving. The local opinion (at least where I am) is that the new aircraft will not replace any existing spam kit.

Notwithstanding this 'straight from the camel's mouth' information, remember that nothing we hear in Kingdom is kosher
