Who in their right mind thought that 120 Typhoon is a realistic number of aircraft...? I'm sure it was more originally...!!!
It was originally 250 + 60 options, trimmed to 232 in the SDR, and currently something like 160. I wouldn't be surprised if the post-SDSR Forward Available Fleet (FAF, how ironically appropriate) exceeds about 70 from a long term fleet of around 100 jets.
