bentwaters81tfw Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 "While there is some validation to the argument that, because the Tranche 2 and 3A Typhoons and the F-35Bs are more capable aircraft than those that came before them, fewer will be needed, it is also true that no aircraft, no matter how capable, can be in more than one place at any time."I'm saying nothing more!

tonyot Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think that the author has a point and that the older Typhoon`s should be retained in the pure fighter role, while instigating a rolling upgrade programme. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtecjack Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Good riddance to the Typhoon ,apparently it is a pile of junk that was easily "shot down" by the Pakistani Air Force F-16s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
