Typhoon

[woptb]

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It costs too much and will be out of date within a decade.

[woptb]

I thought THAT was a secret !

Don't want to broadcast what he said in the clear.

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

[salad-dodger]

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

A decade?! You give it that long?

[woptb]

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.

[salad-dodger]

so, you counted them all out, but weren't able to count them all in ?

No. I'd opine it's out of date now, I was just being unusually generous at the time of posting..

[Pontius Navigator]

woptb, where are you in UK, exactly?

Code:

"Is anyone aware of a current fleet wide issue with Typhoon ?"

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

[Biggus]

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