Draken55,

I note from the serials that the Typhoons deployed are all FGR4s. If there is a requirement for more ground attack then surely the Typhoon could carry a mixed load? I would imagine that the limiting factor is the number of pilots cleared for air to ground? What is the difference between Canadians flying this air defence load with LGBs and an FGR4 cleared for Paveway II? If push came to shove could it be done?
