£40bn Saudi fighter jet deal brings RAF shortage fears
Saudi Arabia is expected to obtain more than 200 Eurofighter Typhoons in the long term.
There are fears within the RAF that this could produce a spare parts shortage when the Saudis are given priority of supply.
The situation happened in the 1990s when Saudis bought Tornados and RAF jets were left unserviceable as spares were given to Saudi Arabia first.
