Video from the channel Jetline Marvel about Eurofighter Typhoon, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 4:36. Language: English. Video type: Documentary.

Opinion piece arguing that the United Kingdom should keep the Eurofighter Typhoon in the Royal Air Force rather than buy more American F-35s.

The central argument is industrial. The Typhoon, developed by BAE Systems with European partners, sustains skilled jobs in the country, while Lockheed Martin's F-35 is manufactured mostly in the United States. The video also links that industrial base to the future Tempest fighter, whose entry into service it expects for 2035.

It also highlights the Typhoon's versatility in air superiority and ground attack, and its armament, with AIM-120 AMRAAM, Meteor and IRIS-T missiles.
