It’s easy for an armchair general to just throw a solution that means killing of thousand of lives. I wonder if you have the guts to face any surviver that was “bombed the **** out” and told him that it was deserved. I know that there is nothing in my post that will change the minds of such people, they spend too much time in front of TV and playing games.
And btw on topic, i hope that if Typhoon will become battle proven, it will be against any fanatic Kadafi follower, not a pilot dumping his bombs in the desert.
According to you dictators killing their own citizens is fine, when the west uses precision guided weapons which are designed for minimum collateral to the greater good then its evil. :rolleyes:
I think Tornadoes may be used more if SEAD is more of a priority.
And its taken, what, the best part of 20 years to get this far, better than it was yes, but far from perfect. Doing “very well” now is a bit optimistic. Iraq is not stable enough for the US to or any other country to leave.
20 years only because papa Bush did not finish the job.
And its not important for the Typhoon to get an excellent oppurtunity to prove itself, its simply a tool designed to do this type of work, nothing more nor less.
Well being combat proven is a strong selling point for the American jets world wide, even the French call the Rafale combat proven after dropping some bombs on the Taliban, surely doing some A2G work and taking out a few Su 22s will make Typhoon more attractive for foriegn customers. 😉
