On current trends the RAF will get more Typhoons than the USAF will
Raptors...

They will need them.

Why? Are we expecting to fight F-22s?

No, that would be suicidal. But you will need at least five Typhoons
to equal one F-22.

So you are saying it will be cheaper to buy the Typhoons to do the job than
the F-22? :-p

But seriously, what is the F-22 buy number down to now? and what is the unit
price up to?
