Recommendation 5

5 Paragraph: 41

Deliver Typhoon fleet upgrades at pace and consider mothballing Tranche 1 aircraft

Conclusion
Planned sensor and weapons upgrades to the Typhoon fleet must be delivered at pace. In light of the RAF’s lack of any operational reserve, the MoD should seriously consider mothballing the Tranche 1 Typhoons which are due to be retired in 2025 rather than disposing of them.
