Interesting comment, since the EU does not have "modern fighters"

Eurofighter? Rafale? Gripen?

or
strike aircraft.

Tornado GR.4? Harrier GR.9?

They also have no organic strategic transport aircraft

We're assured that the A400M will be wonderful.

and
no usable attack helos.

Lynx AH.7? Tiger? Mangusta?
