Latest Typhoon squadron forms Eurofighter Typhoons could be deployed to Afghanistan in the ground attack role to support British forces opetrating there as early as next year. Speaking at a parade to mark the re-formation of 11 Squadron at Coningsby, Wg Cdr Gavin Parker said: 'We will be prepared and ready to deploy to Afghanistan next year. It has not been timetabled, but I expect that when we are prepared, we will go.'
They have already been practising attack profiles on the ranges.
