Cheers, Ian

 

Edit- unless I miss my guess, that is now the four core participants and five export customers; Austria, Saudi, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. Today`s announcement being the confirmation of an earlier `declaration of intent`.

The BBC online article says it is a package that includes training and support, along with unknown quantities of Brimstone missiles, Meteor missiles, Paveway IV, whiles tele land BBC talked of other elements including radar systems.

Interesting developments in Qatar , over the last few years they have bought Rafale , F16 and now Typhoon , they have gone from about ten first line fighters, to about one hundred of three different types.

Quatar never operated nor bought the F-16, however they have signed for quite a few F-15QA's. 

 

As for Austria, they last spoke of potentially offhanding the Typhoons - this is a follow-on from the bribe scandal related to the procurement process from years back.
