The Typhoon is the Tornado replacement! Post 2020 the F-35C will/might add to that mix. The point I was trying to make was that having lost the Harrier to hold on to Tornado, rapid development of Typhoon in the AG role, even if it's more perception than fact puts the Tornado at risk of being chopped sooner.

Faced with reduced numbers of Typhoons or chopping Tornado sooner to secure more "swing role" aircraft, you know what will happen!
