I am not sure that Typhon can be written off as a poor, or poorer, GA platform than the Harrier or Tornado.
The old maxim was you could make a good fighter into a bomber, Hart, Mosquito, Hurricane and so on but not a bomber into a fighter.
A magazine crossed my desk yesterday of a Typhoon really loaded for bear. It had 4 x IR missiles, 2 x PW, 2 x Brimstone, 2 x Storm Shadow and 2 x u/i missiles. As an agile fighter can also bring a gun to the party.
