Typhoon supply chain under scrutiny?

Well, that's if you regard the Daily Fail as "scrutiny".

Grounded! Almost half of RAF's Typhoon jets unable to fly because they don't have the spare parts to fix them | Mail Online

The comment that caught my eye was at the end of the article, where an MoD spokesman said "it was 'perfectly normal' for such a high proportion of jets to be grounded at any one time. This was because of the level of sophistication in their systems."

So is he saying you can't have many serviceable airplanes because it's complicated? Interesting theory.
