Double Zero

Why is Britain buying the Typhoon and the JSF then? Who is going to attack you?

Do you even know what aircraft the MRCA contract is slated to replace? And what would be the strength of the IAF vis-a-vis Pakistan if they weren't?

Now add to that we have Pakistan on one side, China on the other. Britain has barely fought two wars in the last 60 years (Falklands and GW1) while India has fought four (and a half, Kargil 1999).

Let us stick to the military side of discussion here, this will take us nowhere.
