Nice analysis
As for layers it seems to me that it’s 4 in this picture
I.e. another brown insulator + liner layer on the inside
That layer looks ridiculously close to an insulation layer made of cork (extremly lightweight with 0,24 g/cm³).
Even if flameable: Without oxygen it wouldn’t burn (it’s sealed between two layers).

Now you got my attention, can you circle out the 4th layer? I can’t see it.
@sudo_su1 @DevilO6 I assume you are referring to this bit of brown stuff, which appears to be behind the steel strip layer?
Spoiler
I must admit that confused me for a while, however I’ve found another image of that motor from a different angle, which seems to suggest that it is just a bit of an optical illusion. All the brown stuff is on the outside of the steel, but a section of the brown stuff has broken away exposing the steel and making the top section of brown stuff look like a different layer:
Other photos from inside the motor also don’t appear to show an inner insulation layer. It looks like the steel strips are exposed on the inside of the motor, albeit covered in a layer of soot / oxidation.
Good point, that’s seems quite plausible.
You can see the order of layers here
The burned brown stuff is clearly on the same metal layer
Hopes up for the dev server

That’s the coolest thing i’ve seen all week genuinely, ridiculously intuitive too i’d never have put 2 and 2 together but now I look at it…, I assumed it might have been some sort of chemical coated cardboard.
Fun Fact: Cork is also sometimes used as a component in ablative heat shields of spacecraft where it pyrolyzes from the heat and lack of oxygen forming a heat barrier of carbon (ash). It’s getting used up while reentry so has to be renewed before every flight.
Well… So far looking like back to the Gripen For CAS in GRB and we’ll have to leave the Typhoon on the shelf for a while in that regard
EF for A2A, F/A 18 for A2G
Yeah… Shame Britian and Italy dont get F-18 or even new SPAA.

Bit naughty including A2G weapon for Swiss Hornets while not including them for Finnish Hornets.
Gaijin does work in mysterious ways

did they show if we get the 120c5 on devstream?
Only on the F-18s .
Which would be really dumb
I think they’ve forgotten the Typhoon exists again
It’s being added but I would be amazed if it wasn’t just for the F-15, F/A-18s

💔 we’re so finished
I suppose we’ll have to wait for devserver and report it if it doesn’t get them
knowing this though we’ll be hit with gaijin saying no
I would rather Gaijin left Typhoon alone having witnessed a “rework” it is never a positive experience
Canadian skin for the F-18C Early (Datamine) felt like a direct jab towards the UK lol
I really doubt the UK will see any more canadian aircraft though considering the other datamined skins
