Don't deny the F35 will be superior - but when will it be in service with the UK armed forces? 10 years minimum and if you refer to a previous thread from ORAC more like 15+ before we have decent numbers where we are able to train and deploy operationally in parallel. So what do we do before then? Make the most of what we've got I would suggest. Not the ideal soloution but at the end of the day cancelling Typhoon will cost as much to HMG as proceeding with the order. No Typhoon cash to put into other much needed projects - its already been spent. And Typhoon will, very soon [if not already], be far more capable than the F3 and the Jag (the airframes it was designed to replace).
Not following the party line that Typhoon is $hit so expecting incoming.
