It certainly shows why CAS was so keen to push Typhoon earlier this year.
having got where it has got it would be foolish to make any decisions before it reaches an initial FOC. I say initial as the FOC will be based on what they thought they wanted. Once it has a FOC then you can be sure that more roles and capablity will become apparent - just need money and political will.
Now if you can neuter the product early enough you can bypass the inevitable argument for capabilty enhancement.
