COFH is not a major factor if you can down drones for $25K instead of $500K. Down 2 drones in a hour and the weapons expended cost is at least $800K lower than using Sidewinder.If we have free rein over integrating our own munitions on to Typhoons, then the Cirit missiles will do the same job for us. (Using multiple Sadak accessories)
That cost given in the above article, doesn’t mention if it includes the actual hourly flight cost of a Typhoon jet fighter.
