Just trying to get my finger on the pulse of the critical need for agility, which seems to be hyper important to some folks here. F-35 has traded agility for other priorities and Tornado ADV never had it. F-35 will be operating along with F-15/16s (ignoring F-22) and Typhoon which have agility. But Tornado ADV never had an agile fighter to work alongside it. It'll be interesting to see how this all works out in the end operationally rather than just theoretically.
Surely the fact that the Typhoon immediately followed is indicative enough of what was thought to be needed?
