The dumbed down export versions will not be worth it though, if you cant get full stealth, why bother? Then you can just buy EF-2000/Rafale/Gripen instead.
I hear we are getting the full version There are still politicians talking about the Eurofighter, but they just need to stfu. EF development started in the late 70s. It'll be outperformed and outclassed by the JSF. Then we're better of with the block 50 F-16s we have now.
