JW Cook. Not sure where you got all your enthusiasm for Typhoon from. I see that you live in Oz so I am sure that you have the best interests of the RAAF in your thoughts.
I am certainly not going to delve into the realms of the classified here, but I would say that much of the information being spouted here by a number of experts is out of date wrt Typhoon.
EOC 1 & 2 no longer exist as such - with the name changes have been other changes.
If the RAAF needs a Multi/Swing - Role platform, with modern weapons capable of engaging a variety of A-A & A-Surf targets - and it wants this to be fully operational by 2010 then the SH (or F-15E) would be the answer. Typhoon, I have said before, is a superb aircraft, but..............Remember, in all procurement decisions it is about Performance, Cost and Time. With 2010 not that far away for the aircraft to be operational - Time will be the critical factor and may well outvote whatever we may think about the relative merits of Typh v F18F.
