Photos of an Italian Navy Harrier II MM7199 with a triple mount of Typhoon Air-to-Ground missiles next to it (Air to ground ASRAAM variant).
Additionally, traditional ASRAAM and ALARM missiles.
Credit to Flame for noticing the Typhoons.

I wasn’t following the KH-38MT debacle, but why are they in game if they don’t exist supposedly but Typhoon missile is missing?
Is the typhoon mounts able to hold ASRAAM? I’m feeling humorous.

Should go to Britain because it is a Harrier
Typhoon has only kinda just popped up as an idea for addition on this sphere of the forum, I’m sure flame and others had already considered it and I did a bit of looking, I knew it existed personally but not how far it got and AFAIK we don’t know where the programme got to before it was cancelled. Maybe mockups only though we know all the tech existed?
It would be super nice to have though in the short run if that’s where we are going given HAMMERs and KH38MT that would be a nice Eurofighter buff I must admit.

By the looks of it, it’s a LAU-115 (effectively it’s two LAU-127s with a central adapter), and an additional CRL fitted in the middle.
RAAF F/A-18s used LAU-115s to carry dual ASRAAMs and AMRAAMs, and CRL was used to test ASRAAM on Jaguar, and used in-service as AMRAAM launcher on Sea Harrier.
So yes, the launchers would likely have been ASRAAM (and AMRAAM) compatible

They did for Super Hornet/Growler and F-35, but the old legacy Hornets used ASRAAM instead

When you literally get offered them for cost of production +5% it’s hard to say no, even if the performance is worse considering that Unit cost for the ASRAAM would also be pumped by integration costs for a new platform, also an outstanding risk that the US would Veto integration, onto their platforms.

Reason it should go into the British tree is because of 2 reasons
A. The first aircraft to fly on its own power was British
B. It is a Harrier and therefore must go to Britain
C. All belongs to Britannia
D. ASRAAM is mostly used by Britain
E. Star Wars
Well this is the first ever real high quality photo of the Typhoon i’ve ever seen, I doubt gaijin even knows it exists

Don’t be stupid.
It would make more sense to just give the GR.7 or GR.9 (when it comes) Typhoon missiles
Italy can then also get them.

But I mean an AV8B+. But maybe also a GR.9A/GR.9A Late and (if it is considered) Harrier III
You seem to be somewhat blind. I’m being a
The Harrier III has about as much chance of being added to the game as a Ford Fiesta Ecoboost
