Typhoon needs Brimstone to be realistically able to substitute for GR4 - it's more often the Weapon of Choice due to the limited collateral damage. When that's on board I think you'll see the Phoon doing what GR4 is currently. Until then, the "broken jets and tired and fed-up people" are going to have to continue getting on with it.
vvvvv
That better?
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

You are quite correct in your last statement, what has this thread posters message got to do with your comments?Forestfan wrote:Typhoon needs Brimstone to be realistically able to substitute for GR4 - it's more often the Weapon of Choice due to the limited collateral damage.

Then you'll see the politicians kill Tornado rapidly and before the 2018 OSD.
I think we're likely to see mixed ops like Op Ellamy, (i.e 1 x GR4 and 1 x Phoon) in the next year or 2 which would ease the burden on tired manpower and tired GR4s, but would be a bit more expensive logistically.
However I reserve the right to be talking complete sh1te!!
