OA,
How many FE@readiness would the 137 aircraft Typhoon force give us, bearing in mind that 28 are immediately discounted by being assigned to the OCU and OEU?
If we only have 100, then how many do we tie to the carrier?
It sounds to me as though a mix of Typhoon and FCAC JSF (none of them tied to a carrier) will give us the most cost effective, flexible and useful force mix.
