Is anyone aware of a current fleet wide issue with Typhoon ? Just had a heads up from an old mucker,what he passed on sounded unlikely. Don't want to broadcast what he said in the clear.

fleet wide issue with Typhoon

It costs too much and will be out of date within a decade.

Then why open it up for discussion on a public forum?

what exactly are you hoping to get on here, other than the obvious ridicule for starting such a daft thread?

I was trying to confirm if a rumour wasn't. Ta for the steer.

It's certainly a rumour. Maybe they can't fly in daylight?

There was lots of noise at night, why at 2308 a couple of nights ago I was woken up as one took off. I was asleep when it returned, if it returned.

No. I'd opine it's out of date now, I was just being unusually generous at the time of posting..

Yes, theres a big problem
They can't take off from or land on carriers

It'll be a software issue...... the RAF in general don't have much of a grasp on software....
