Enzo Casolini, chief executive of the Eurofighter industry consortium, says discussions with Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK will focus on the possible introduction of an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and weapons including MBDA's Meteor beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile.

na immerhin, das erwarte ich auch für Tranche 3 Flugzeuge

Casolini says his customers should make a commitment to Tranche 3B production of the Eurofighter during 2011, but notes that "if there is strong support for exports then we could take that into consideration." The UK has already agreed with its partners a reduction of 24 aircraft from its originally 232-strong commitment, in return for brokering the sale of 72 Typhoons to Saudi Arabia. London has now ordered 160 of the aircraft.

also sind die Briten noch nicht ganz raus...
entweder sie fädeln wieder einen neuen Export Deal für die restlichen 48 Flieger ein, die sie nicht abnehmen wollen/können
...oder es folgen Strafzahlungen...
...oder sie nehmen einfach die Flieger...

Other future weapons include MBDA's Brimstone air-to-surface missile, Raytheon Systems' proposed supersonic Paveway IV precision-guided bomb, the MBDA Storm Shadow and Taurus Systems KEPD 350 Taurus cruise missiles, and the US-made Small Diameter Bomb.

das finde ich mal sehr positiv, dass auch die SDB integriert werden soll... (liebe Bundeswehr... bitte gleich beschaffen)
