After Gulf I, there were several over the former Yugoslavia - NATO forces abused the Soviet-equipped opposition like it was going out of style.

That said, air to air is still less prevalent than air to ground/air to mud. And the EF2000 doesn't look like it's going to work out real well in that role.

Somehow every time I read Euro-anything, I expect it to be the Euro-Appeaser. Somehow the Euro-Fighter is just incongruous.

The Typhoon's initial air-ground capability within the RAF will be from 2008. The later tranches will have increased capability.
