Interested to see the ISD for Typhoon

The original ISD for the jet was 1996 with one slip allowed! Remember the interim title of Eurofighter 2000?

Foxhunter radars were delivered 6 months after the F2s in 85. It took until 90 to fix it.

But don't get me wrong. I'm right with the thrust of the argument! And.... it's not just BAES. I've seen similar dismal performances from US contractors. Anyone else remember the single emitter pre flight message in a US RWR?
