The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) has noted the superior operational effectiveness and increased safety margins of its Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft during the type’s ongoing mission over Yemen.
Speaking to Jane’s at the Dubai Airshow, RSAF Typhoon pilot First Lieutenant Abdul Aziz Omran said that the Typhoon had proven ideal for the Yemen mission, given the requirements for powerful engines, a heavy weapons and fuel load, and the ability to operate from relatively short runways.
“Our mission in Yemen requires a high performance, capable, reliable and very safe aircraft,” Lt Omran said on 13 November, adding that the Typhoon is equally adept at operations in adverse weather – and at night – as in perfect daytime conditions.

Looking forward to see The Taranis with the Typhoons in RSAF
