No Stealth, No Problem! RAF Eurofighter Typhoon is the World's most deadly multi-role fighter jet

Video from the channel Weapons of The World about Eurofighter Typhoon, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 8:06. Language: English. Video type: Documentary.

An informational video, narrated over footage of the Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoon. It presents the aircraft as a multirole fighter and reviews its recent operational activity and planned upgrades.

It describes the Typhoon as a twin-engine delta-wing fighter with canards, built by Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo. It highlights that it can switch in mid-flight from air-to-air combat to precision strike. As a recent example it cites the attack by four RAF Typhoon FGR4s on Houthi facilities in Yemen with Paveway IV bombs, supported by a Voyager tanker aircraft. According to the video, this was the response to drone and missile attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It also notes that the RAF operates the F-35.

The United Kingdom is investing £2.35 billion in upgrading its Typhoons to keep them operational until 2040 and beyond. The central upgrade is the ECRS Mk2 radar, with electronic warfare capability and the ability to simultaneously track multiple air and ground targets. Added to this are a new mission computer, a new cockpit interface, improved navigation and jamming systems. The video highlights the aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio, its supercruise without afterburner, and engines that, according to the narrator, can run for 1,200 flight hours without unscheduled maintenance. It also lists its weapons: the Meteor, IRIS-T, ASRAAM and AMRAAM air-to-air missiles; air-to-surface weapons such as Storm Shadow, Brimstone 2, SPEAR 3, Taurus and GBU and Paveway IV bombs; and targeting pods.
