Tranche 3 Typhoon Orders Still in Flux for Member Nations

the member nations are looking at splitting their orders for 236 Typhoons into two sub tranches, with the second having an AESA radar.

Also, it looks as if the member nations will be granted permission to export their purchase options to customers outside the consortium, in order to reduce pressure on their budgets.

Is it just me, or have the costs for procuring combat aircraft become way to much?
