It would have been better if Saint Antony had a little more common sense than clean white shirt

Btw the news that the Saudis adds AASM would improve EFs chances for me, since it then will get the same stand off, precision strike capability Rafale has now and possible even the SEAD capability. If the Saudis can add Brimstone too, if would have dramatically improved it's strike capability at the lower and medium ranges.

well but it had nt shown the capabilty to launch A-G standoff cruise missile like storm shadow like that rafale IS IINT???

Of course not, because it needs CFTs to do it. EF can't carry a single Storm Shadow on the centerlike like Tornado or Rafale (size limitations), therefor has to use the twin config always. But that limits it to a single centerline fuel tank only, which gives ridiculously low range with such a deep strike config and the only solution is developing and adding CFTs. That's why the EF consortium offers this to UAE:

However, AASM would not need a new development, only integration work, just like Brimstone and both would push EF's A2G capability by far and makes it far more interesting for many countries.
