Eurofighter insists that the Typhoon differs from the competing jets in dynamics through the entire flight envelope. The Typhoon accelerates from a stationary position on the ground to 45,000 feet and Mach 1 in 90 seconds. The UK Royal Air Force declared the Typhoon a multi-role fighter in 2008, and in 2011 the type flew strike missions in Libya, typically with four AMRAAM, two ASRAAM and four Paveway 2 guided bombs (or other 1,000-pound-class bombs). The MBDA Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missile will be integrated on the Typhoon soon, according to BAE, followed by the Brimstone missile in 2017.
The RAF aircraft currently do not have anti-ship missiles, but a number of those can be integrated, including the AGM-84 Harpoon used by the RMAF. There is a “complex” weapons program in place that aims to ease the adaptation of additional weapons to the Typhoon package. The UK is considering the addition of the Spear-3 missile in the future, which would equip RAF Typhoons to engage small vessels. This enables the Eurofighter consortium to consider the Typhoon “fully compliant” with Malaysian specifications, executives said.
Asked to comment on Typhoon's involvement, Gp Capt Stringer said: "This has shown that the jet has the performance that we always knew it had. It’s got pace, it can achieve some really quite impressive altitudes out here. Put those two together and it puts extra capability into the air-to-air missiles that you are carrying."
"What I’m heartened on Typhoon is where we test it in demanding scenarios, the jet performs. On the air-to-ground side the jet has an impressive payload, the current targeting pod is very good
The majority of missions flown by Typhoon were swing-role, as Typhoon pilot Flight Lieutenant Mark Long explained: "A lot of our sorties are swing-role because once we’ve prosecuted the target we are up on fuel and we’ve got four AMRAAMs on board so we’re back into the second phase of an air-air fight."
[Sobre el ejercicio Western Zephyr de coordinación con los Raptors] In addition to the clear benefits of being able to operate alongside the USAF fighter, integration between the fourth-generation Typhoon and fifth-generation Raptor will pay dividends when the RAF's fifth-generation aircraft, the Joint Strike Fighter, enters service. And whilst integration was the main focus there were opportunities for the two aircraft to take each other on. “The Raptors were enjoying it because they actually had a proper fight. For XI(F) Sqn all of us are going back at our peak tactical awareness."
