No, there are multiple options, such as the very same pre-production Typhoons that we are talking about, 2. your comparing the Typhoon to the Tornado completely invalidates everything you have said and will say, and 3. once again, personal feelings should not be brought into matters like this.
Can anybody explain to me why is chally 3(P) rank 8 while the only advantage that it has over 2a6 leo at rank 7 is thermals? in every other way 2a6 is superior
That is why I said it was intended for service.
The Armée de l’Air simply prefered a light weight jet at the time.
Dassault also was marketing the Jet for sale.
DA2 on the other hand was never intended for service and was a prototype for a programme that was indeed finalised…
It wans’t even really considered by the French air force iirc
It was made a few years after the Mirage 2K was introduced and during a period where france was trying to make modern aircrafts with other countries. There was simply no need for this plane
There are multiple Leopard 2 prototypes, a programme that ended with it entering service, and according to your logic, they should be removed also. Why is that?
Man do you not realise what I was saying?
A EF prototype which would be a heavily gimped Tranche 1 so to speak would be quickly be overshadowed and underwhelming for the most part.
You said that it being a prototype for a programme that ended with it entering service means it shouldn’t be added. I am using your logic, not mine. And, once again, why should Germany, Britain, and Italy be left behind when there are options for them?
