Eurofighter? Rafale? Gripen?
How many of them are actually in service? Hmmm....
More than there are F-22s or JSFs
Tornado GR.4? Harrier GR.9?
How many?
Eighty-four Tornado GR.4s in seven frontline squadrons, plus forty-two
Harriers in three squadrons (plus OCU aircraft and a few others)
Last I heard, both of those aircraft were on their way out in the
near future.
Harrier's good for another ten years, the Tonka until 2020 or so.
Lynx AH.7? Tiger? Mangusta?
Hardly up to Apache standards.
Lynx did a very good job in Telic, despite being charitably described as
'austere'.
