German Audit office slams Eurofighter
The Times:
The Eurofighter, designed as the main strike aircraft for Britain and other European countries for the next 25 years, has been attacked as obsolete and technically flawed. Germany's federal audit court, a spending watchdog, say's the plane is vulnerable to cold weather, that it's cockpit canopy may not withstand the impact of a bird and that it is not fit to fly combat missions "for the foreseeable future".

Needless to say, a fighter unable to operate in cold climate is of little use to us.......
May not withstand a bird impact
Hang on ein minuten,
What size bird are we talking about here? Ostrich sized?
These guys aren't being very specific..... next thing these auditors will claim that it can't fly very high (meaning above 70,000ft) or can't carry many JDAMs (compared to the B2), or that it can't be painted different colours (in waterpaint).
Don't listen to the dull guy.
