Love the way the article mentions Sniper for the Typhoon as well .

Slightly confused how they will man the deployment in the longer term though, what with only 2 Typhoon squadrons stood up on the front line as of yet - 17 and 29 are surely going to be busy enough as it is with their own OEU and OCU tasks without sending crews/jets abroad to fight?

If the Harrier guys are overstretched trying to maintain jets there with 3/4 front line squadrons (lets ignore the 800/801/NSW issue for now), how will the Typhoon guys with only 2 squadrons stood up manage?
