PAF Pilots looking over RSAF typhoon procurement?

But this leads us to nowhere, if you're pointing to the vulnurability of platform to weather (correct me if i am wrong), then designers would have certainly taken into account the weather conditions in Europe while designing this machine since it was envisaged as a fighter for Europe rather than ME or Subconitinent. There may be other issues which are not known to us, yet the bad weather as a drag serves no argument
I guess when the super dooper Rapptor was unleashed, they never expected it to start splitting at the seams so quickly,
When the PAF checked out the EF back in 2005, whatever other reasons for it's non selection may have been but one reservation PAF had was on the voice command system installed in the EF.

1] paf will know the typhoon's capabilites inside out
2] paf will incorporate equivalent capabilities in j10b [which is already 'directly' influenced by f16a,lavi,j11b]

India knows inside out about F16 thanks to Singapore and Israel:cheesy:

I am not too sure about it dear, once we went to RAF Leuchars Airshow where the EF was to perform, it never did due to some weather condition,..... just last month, some event for British Armed Forces took place, EF was scheduled along with Red Arrows and Tornadoes etc. In the end, the only thing missing was the EF, as I understand, there was a slight drizzle on at the hour.

It may also have to do with the RAF being a little hesitant to let their new bird rack up hours for display.
Even the EF displays in Turkey have been less than impressive.

Probably has nothing to do with the weather, just keeping fleet hours low.
Or perhaps the EF currently costs more to bring it to the particular show.

The EF is a good jet, perhaps the best of the 4th gen's out there.. at least when it comes to killing other jets.
But its consortium is part of the problem, and that it relies on some American components.
Which is why it was never going to work out for us....

And if it made the finals of MMRCA.. Im sure it can handle any weather condition thrown at it.

We are seeing less euro fighters display because of shortage of supply parts, not due to weather conditions

The RAF is tearing apart state-of-the-art fighter jets for spare parts to keep warplanes flying over Libya.Three Typhoons, costing £125million each, are being cannibalised at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to cover a desperate shortage of parts

The shortage of spare parts means some Typhoon pilots are grounded because they can’t put in enough flying hours to remain battle ready.

mmrca MAKES BIG TROUBLE FOR INDIANS
IF THEY CHOOSE EURO-FIGHTER THAN PAKISTAN MAY CHOOSE RAFALE MAY BE IF OUR ECONOMICAL CONDITIONS BE BETTER
OUR PILOTS ARE ALSO FLYING MIRAGE-2000-9 OF UAE & ALSO F-16 BLOCK 60 OF U-A-E
WE PILOTS ARE ALSO FLYING F-15S OF SAUDIS AND F-16 OF JORDON
DUE TO DEFENSE COOPERATION WE CAN USE THEIR JETS DURING WAR AS WE DID IN PAST
