I believe it's true, I read somewhere, (Air Forces Monthly I think it was? Or one of those magazines. And heard from a couple of other sources) a few months ago that RAF Typhoon's are going to be deployed on training excercises in the UAE.
I go to Dubai on an, quite regular basis & I think I saw something in an local paper about it too, Gulfnews? I didn't really pay much attention to it though...
If I find an article, which I'm sure I have one laying around somewhere about it, I'll post what it says.
