News just in from RAF MOD in UK

Eurofighter for the RAF it seems is to be axed after only 144 aircraft
due to engine and delivery failures... from the UK MOD

UCAV to replace it instead it seems.

is the eurofighter program totally dead now ? time will tell but with
1/2 the total order cancelled seems pilot are dead ducks too...


Hundreds of Typhoons will be produced during a number of years to come...
I wouldn't exactly call that "totally dead".

As ususal Aerophotos aka Jolly Green Giant is hallucinating.

There was a speculative piece in the Grauniad a couple of weeks
touting the idea that 1/3 of the production MAY bet at risk, that
is 236 out of the planned 620 aircraft.

The initial production aircraft are being delivered with both
the RAF and Spanish Air Force having received aircraft.
