Well it was nonsensical to claim that changing the dates would aline them to the JSF/JCA entering service because they would have really need to pushed them further. I think that was mostly short-term money driven, even if it was the result of adding overall cost to the programme in the longer-term. Dates haven't slipped that much, but there would have never been a full airwing available plus attrition aircraft in 2016-2018.
Shocking, if Cameroon thinks the Typhoon is in Afghanistan.
