Typhoon - Why so Many
A colleague of mine is writing a bit of a service paper re Typhoon and has to address why you need 232 (or whatever it is) of them. Is it part of doctrine, is it just a plucked out of the air number, SWAG or did it stay as a cold war requirement that we haven't changed.
Answers on a post card please, and BTW this is not a troll it is a genuine question........
No, really...
any sources of information would be appreciated also, AP3000 etc....
