stealth + STOVL + supersonic
All right, so what's the catch? Incredibly short range? Piss-poor handling? Short life? Cost? Because this thing appears to be an everything-to-everyone device. Wikipedia suggests it has vaguely similar specs to Tornado in terms of range and weapons load, although I'm not sure if the stated load would need to be limited for a short takeoff.
