The Typhoon will make a fantastic CAS platform I'm sure. Big wing, 2 powerful engines and some nice new avionics. It's always better to turn a fighter into a bomber. Look at the F3 and the F15E.
So lets all stop arguing. We have Typhoon now. We don't have A10s or Hunters. Still laughing at the thought of the Su25s.
Yes, we also need more AT, SH and the rest. While we're at it, I'd also like a pay rise. And I don't want to pay tax when I spend 6+ months of the year abroad. But neither of these things are going to happen.
We traditionally have had to make do with what we have in the UK, but in the Typhoon we have a fantastic airframe with lots of potential. I for one will be a happy man when it gets to prove its worth in the Stan, and not just because it means I get to come home
