Archimedes,

Maybe I mis-read your ealier mail, but I thought you were pro- Typhoon - now with the comment about internal weapon carriage ( Something i've always been a great fan of, except for the Harrier which due to engine design doesn't mind what you hang on it ! ) I'm confused as to what you're promoting - certainly on the 'first night of war' being steathy etc I'd expect no pylons etc, on an F-35 - but a busy night on landing for a role change !

The Typhoon will be stuck with pylons & rely on jamming ( where have I heard that before ? ) so if in an allied force will again be at the back of the attacking fleet...

Before anyone says it, I know from chats with people involved that 'stealth' in it's many forms is no magic answer either.
