Nitro, in my opinion (and experience) I really don't think the aircrew will be disappointed with the aircraft's performance. The question really for Denmark and the Netherlands is whether the cost involved limits the numbers purchased and hence the effectiveness of the force in completing their missions. It does however allow those countries politicians to bring more capability to the table when discussing coalition air operations. Whether the politicians see this as worth it when they decide on their Defence budgets is perhaps a different question....

Jacko, as I recall Typhoon was always touted as the Jaguar replacement. Unfortunately due to budget issues the A-G capabilities were put on the back burner initially.
