Just watched that steely eyed aviator awaiting the order to deliver shock and awe to the bad guy in the video link. A
PR mans wet dream. Nice to see that external fuel tanks are jet propelled to ensure that they clear the airframe. Lets hope all the bad guys shave their heads, mind you I think the guy on the SAM battery was rather cooler than the pilot, 'least he wasn't running away bravely. Having been fairly neutral about Typhoon over the years I am not sure how this video exploits its capability over current ac (never mind the much vaunted argument about the next generation) in the interdictor/close air support role (except it cost a lot so must be good). As far as I could see the weapons hung on the aircraft are v effective, on this evidence perhaps we could take a short cut and miss out a very expensive airframe?
