a lot less than it would take to develop and put into service FCAS, UCAS, whatever other Combat Air System is currently on the drawing board!

Surely, and for all sorts of reasons - not least fleet commonality, it would make far more sense to procure more Typhoons?

Personally, I like the idea of a 'stretched' two - seater with CFTs, evolved EJ200 - maybe even a bigger wing. Clearly, this is in the realm of fantasy (it kind of makes sense, so clearly won't be investigated!) but additional 'vanilla' Tiffies would be just fine.

A two seat Tranche 3B with CFTs, AESA radar and Storm Shadow/Brimstone capability would make an ideal Tornado replacement.

No it wouldn't
