Hope this is the correct thread to ask. Mods, otherwise please move.
The Luftwaffe calls its new toy Eurofighter, EF2000 or just ‘Eufi’.
We know that RAF uses Typhoon but I wonder what the other users call their jets. Media may often speaks of Italian and Spanish Typhoons but are they really called like that overthere?
Not to forget Austria and Saudi Arabia.
Guess, the RAF designation Typhoon is more in the line of “Tornado” than relating back to the WW.2 RAF fighter wearing the same name?
A friend asked me about these names and I didn’t have a clue either why the Luftwaffe never used ‘Typhun’ or similiar.
