Foghorn Leghorn,

Apologies if I misunderstood your post. Thanks for the reply.

In regards to Typhoon and Litening pod. The MoD has released some images of Typhoon in Italy carrying Paveway II.

Interesting that no Litening Pod is fitted on Typhoon, serial ZJ924? The centre-line stores position is empty. Usually a fuel tank or Litening pod is carried.

Link to Typhoon images that are too large for the forum.

RAF - Typhoon and Tornado

Enhanced Paveway II is dual mode with GPS and Laser guided.

Looks like they were doing buddy-buddy targeting on a joint Typhoon/Tornado mission? So far there is no footage of the other Typhoon involved in the mission.
