RAF Typhoons AAR over Syria...
Now THAT video is the ultimate ripostet to the "typhoon can't replace Tornado" folk! Four Paveway LGB/PGM, 2 ASRAAM, 2 underwing tanks, a 27mm cannon and a targeting pod, with space left for another 4 BVR AAM...
How many Jaguars would have it taken to replicate that capability? And still lack radar and air to air capability (and thrust!).
An FGR4, looks like the RAF have at long last finally replaced the Phantom FGR2, and without the whining in the back...

Both Typhoons seemed extremely stable in contact, to my ignorant eyes. A combination of 'good hands' and a good FBW airframe, I assume?

"Follow the line of the hose-don`t look at the basket".
It may have a missile or two on the rear station(s). The front right station is arguably the last place you put a missile if you think gun use is more likely. Saves any concern on carriage life when other options are available. Every penny saved and all that.
just another jockey,
Sorry, I have absolutely no idea where they live.
