Just to let you know the latest figures, so you can compare them
fairly, just cast your non partisan eys over this...

The contract for Germany's 68 tranche 2 Typhoons is worth 3,4 bn €,
which means exactly 50 mill €uros per copy.
(about USD$61m at todays exchange rates).

So its price is down, its capability is up...


Now providing the JSF can lose weight, gain capability, holds its
price where it is, and pleases all the partners... its going to give
the Typhoon a run for its money.

BTW does anyone know the status of AMSAR, has it test flown in the BAE
test hack aircraft yet?
