I've got nothing against the Typhoon, but to call it combat proven is a joke.
It has never been tested.
Spitfire is combat proven.
A10 is combat proven.
Apache.
FRS1
ME109
P51
All these things have done their job against real opposition and been found effective.
Until 100 Typhoon have fought against 100 Su27 or Mig 29 then its just guesswork.
Lobbing bombs from safety is just a sideline. A C130 could do the job as well and cheaper
