    Wow, I didn't realise that the typhoon is so advanced that it doesn't need a squadron of aircraft techies to keep it serviceable. Keep up the good work chefs and PTIs, you're the real heros

      That’s because all the aircraft techies are gimps. They’re not real engineers anyway, they don’t actually fix anything. The proper engineering is done by BAE.

      It was designed to be cheap to run and own. Unlike the F22 and F35 which seem to need a week on the ground for every hour in the air. Which in a war is insanely expensive and puts everyone at huge risk.

      As an ex plumber, I ask the question why would they need technicians? The pilot at the beginning condemned himself out of his own mouth. He said "the aircraft flies itself." So what's he doing in the cockpit? Having a jolly I suppose. Who needs 6G, it's the perfect aircraft capable of flying without tech support or pilot, just admin and general personnel.

    The video sums up the existing unfairness in Military aviation across the world . There are a lot of specialist personnel working to get a aircraft airborne from technical to administrative . And the result of all the hard work is enjoyment and appreciation , taken for granted by the aircrew .
    Anybody who has studied mordern aircraft’s will know , Thats flying an aircraft is way easier than anybody thinks . The kind of autopilots which are available today , they can even sleep during the flight .
    But to the general civilian pubic , a flying aircraft is like a magic and their hero will always be a pilot as he is flying the aircraft with his supernatural abilities !
