I'm not expecting this thread to drag on, but i just want to stated that for me, it seems that once considered a "poor man" choice, MRCA concept have been accepted and implimented even by major world air force. The breakthrough in several new technology have made the MRCA extremely capable on both air superiority and Ground attack mission. They are "Jack of all trade and master of all". Even the USAF are now begin to equip some of it's once air superioty only fighter with ground attack capability. At least with a capability to run a SEAD mission.
I've heard that once, RAF have seriously considered purchasing Mig-29 to replace it's Tornado F1. Is it true?
