He also described how RAF Typhoon crews are carrying out training with the aircraft's 27mm Mauser cannon. "We used it first on exercise in the Middle East, and we've also had great success in the UK in the air-to-air and air-to-surface roles," he said. "The other Eurofighter nations have used it, but primarily air-to-air. The question for us now is sustainability, logistics, and support; at the moment we could use the gun day-to-day if needed to because we could put the support structures in place, but we're taking a measured approach and not routinely operating it."
