For the Quadriga Yes, but looking at the text it implies that our earlier ones example T3, that sounds heavely like the Mk.0
I’ve found nothing from Leonardo that they have orders for anything other than the Gulf state Typhoons.
I will write an mail to the BW, hopefully they can confirm the ESUT post
Surprisingly fast emails from the Bundeswehr compared to like, a UK FOI.
Always multiple months waits for anything that remotely comes close to NETMA.

I wonder, could the NETMA confirm an Inner Pylon AMRAAM :))

That would be nice, but they’d refuse to even comment.
Sounds about right, the agencies aren’t good at talking to eachother as i’m currently discovering.
Ahah yeah no, I’m currently in a long FOI dispute that revolves around NETMA and the MOD using that as a catch all to do nothing.

In this case, Long live the Bmvg aka. German MOD and the press office of the BW )))

In other words, it is very likely that the German Air Force has already equipped the Typhoon with CAPTOR-E mk0, before the delivery of mk1. …？
Has the Royal Air Force started using the CAPTOR-E MK2?
No, the only current Mk0 operators are Qatar and Kuwait.

Will the AMK package be introduced in FGR.4 (late)? I hope it improves high-altitude speed retention performance, but will it basically only improve AoA?
Properly not as the production AMK has not been shown
Does amk affect sustained turn rate? All I remember is that it makes the aoa go up to like 34 degrees and that it lets the eurofighter carry heavier loads
ITR is what it effects

Lift as well iirc, flaps are kinda extended compared to the regular typhoon
(By extended I mean longer not deployed)

It’s still curious to me that the Mk.1 has only GaN transmitters while the Mk.2 has a mix of GaN and GaAs transmitters. The only advantage GaAs has is that it’s cheaper to manufacture (and maybe better linearity). Otherwise it’s worse in every parameter from a technological standpoint. Why it was done like this, I have no idea… Maybe because at the time it was designed GaN couldn’t reach the power levels of GaAs transmitters? Currently modern GaN semiconductors reach up to ten times the power output of GaAs, so there’s that.
So a hypothetical Mk.3 with the backend of the Mk.2 and the (maybe modernized current state-of-the-art) transmitters of the Mk.1 would be the best of both worlds.
Edit: Or is the combination of GaAs and GaN in the Mk.2 not implemented as different transmitters, but as a GaAs preamp and a GaN power amplifier inside every transmitter? That would be really interesting.
