Typhoons
Two points of information, please
Jackonico quoted that currently 180 Typhoons are to be purchased giving 5 Squadrons. I've no idea how many aircraft would be needed for conversion units but, being generous, that still leaves over 30 aircraft per squadron. Is this realistic?
Secondly, since the SH operate entirely or nearly so in support of the Army, could someone explain what is the point of having them operated by another service?
