The Hog was designed as a jet AROUND its gun - ie 'We have a gun, so lets design a platform around it'. Result - A-10 (THE most requested air asset in Theatre right now) To consider strapping one to an existing airframe is simply asking for trouble.
BTW - I thought that the Typhoon was going to the 'stan in July 08...I hear that your viffing dudes have all been burnt out - as have the jets.
