One hundred Tornado fighters will be retired as soon as possible and the air force will have 37 few Eurofighters.

  1. Why not? Good ole’ Uncle Sugar here will take care of you. Why even bother with any more than a couple of aircraft? Retire them all, and let the Americans tote the water. The US is stupid enough to do it too. How else can you explain how they keep a military alliance that is ancient and should be scrapped immediately?
