Re: Typhoon Ground Attack
I read on another site that the cannon is now operational but has only a 55 round capacity. Is there a high tech sighting system so this ammunition capacity is viable?
Re: Typhoon Ground Attack
55 rounds at like 1200rpm?

Re: Typhoon Ground Attack
The Typoon has been able to drop bombs for quite a few years, it was a good 4 years ago when i saw one on Wainfleet range, seemed to turn out it was doing pickling of 5 bombs...
Re: Typhoon Ground Attack
Well, my line of thinking was, when these cretin politicians see how effective the Typhoon no doubt will be at ground attack, they are bound to start asking why we are bothering to keep the Tornado going... 
On past form, that is.

Re: Typhoon Ground Attack
Might be wrong, but I could swear I read some place that it wasn't supposed to be cleared for ground attack roles for another couple of years yet, till they've shaken down the software etc or something
