In a post strewn with inaccuricies and cast aside shoulder chips its difficult to reply to it without writing yet another essay, so rather than bore all I'll stick with just the one, almost throwaway, line from from the chucklemeister, 'Oldnotbold'.
The RAF, having already spent something like four times the amount of money the QE Class Carriers will cost on Typhoon -optimised for Air to Air combat and yet to be deployed operationally or do any harm to anyone except the British Tax payer-
Wasn't the F15E, one of the most successful strike fighters in the US arsenal for many a year now, a development of an aircraft designed originally as purely an 'air superiority' fighter, without even the slightest consideration to dropping bombs?
No matter what you read on 'Rum Ration' the Typhoon in UK service was always designed to have an air-to-ground role, but the priority was to replace the Tornado F3 initially (thus an emphasis on the air-to-air) and replace the Jaguar GR3's at a later date (with those aircraft in the initial tranche, with so-called 'austre' A/G capability, being upgraded to full capability as the later tranches enter service).
