While the Typhoons do not have any anti-ship missiles they can use their sensors to try to detect the Russian's air defence systems.


How - helpful in case of a problem. Hasn't a famous Brit once written "Readiness is all", and another one being the author of this quote "Its better to have a weapon and not needing it, than to need a weapon but finding one has none?"
