Da, Nemci su opasni a i Italijani jer samo vazdusnu borbu vezbaju, uce da iskoriste performanse do maksimuma. Nezvanicno su u JG-74 dobili i novu HEA kacigu koju Britanci koriste, ali jos nije u redovnoj masovnijoj upotrebi pa verovatno nece biti na Aljasci.
- Britanci dobijaju jos jedan eskadron, cetvrti, posto 1. eskadron dobija Tajfune
Takodje su objavili plan potrosnje za narednih 10 godina i planiran je novac za integraciju oruzja na Tajfuna. Trebalo bi da dobiju pored sadasnjih Paveway II i Paveway IV, Storm Shadow, Brimstone i SDB. Meteor se podrazumeva kad stigne.
U vezi AESA
Citat:"We are crac.king on, with hardware coming together," Mason says. The first test radar should be delivered early in the second quarter of 2013, and flown by Eurofighter partner company BAE Systems on a Typhoon before the end of that year.
The design retains an upgraded processor and receiver from the mechanically-scanned Captor-M, but adds a new array and an electrically-steered repositioner which will increase the sensor's field of regard by +/-100˚.
"The gain in performance is well worth any minor degradation in mean-time between failure," Mason says. The AESA will deliver enhanced detection performance in air-to-air and air-to-ground modes, plus a synthetic aperture radar mapping function.
Mason says discussions with the four core Eurofighter partner nations are continuing, and believes that "those that have money will join the [AESA] programme in the near future". A production contract could come by mid-2013, with deliveries to commence from around 2015.
The Captor-E will be available as an option for Tranche 3A aircraft to be built for Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, and as a retrofit option for their Tranche 2 aircraft, along with those of Saudi Arabia. The enhancement is also being offered to other potential export customers for the Typhoon, including Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates.
