Is there a plan to make use of Maverick on Typhoon at all, or will existing stocks be sold/scrapped along with the Harrier? I suppose dual mode Brimstone is better for most CAS tasks, given greater flexibility and the ability to carry more of them, but the larger Maverick warhead might be more useful against larger or more hardened targets.

(Thinking out loud again...what about the Sniper pods and Terma pods bought under UOR for the Harrier? I once read Sniper was being trialled on a Tornado GR4 but never saw any pictures. I expect the Terma pod for Tornado has much commonality with that on the Harrier, so presumably lots of spares/consumables carry across to the GR4 fleet if nothing else).
