Would any other european countires be interested in sharing the R&D for the Eurofighter, sharing research costs for the implementation of a new better European fighter.
The aircraft incorporates several new state-of-the-art systems including the ECR-90 multi-mode radar built by companies from all four partner nations and IRIS-T an Infra-Red Search and Track weapon aiming system coupled with helmet-mounted symbology. Power for Eurofighter is provided by two EJ200 afterburning turbofans built by Eurojet, a consortium of MTU (Germany), Fiat (Italy), ITP (Spain) and Rolls-Royce (UK). The engines are smaller than the RB199s fitted to the Tornado, but offer a 25% increase in power. ITP is also developing a vectoring nozzle for the engine for a possible future upgrade. Other systems include a Defensive Aids Sub-System (DASS), wide-angle Head Up Display (HUD) and VTAS, a Voice Throttle and Stick control system that includes Direct Voice Input of some commands and HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) to ease pilot workload.
Powerplant: Two Eurojet EJ200 turbofans of 13,490lb (60kN) dry or 20,250lb (90kN) in full reheat.
Span: 34ft 5in (10.50m)
Length: 47ft 7in (14.50m)
Max Speed: 1,321mph (2,125km/h) at 36,090ft (11,000m)
Armament: A single 27mm Mauser cannon is fitted internally on the starboard side of the aircraft.
Individual role fits:
Air Interdiction: 2 Storm Shadow, 2 ALARM, 4 AMRAAM, 2 ASRAAM, 2 1,500 litre fuel tank, 1 1,000 litre fuel tank
Close Air Support: 18 Brimstone, 4 AMRAAM, 2 ASRAAM, 1 1,000 litre fuel tank
SEAD: 6 ALARM, 4 AMRAAM, 2 ASRAAM, 1 1,000 litre fuel tank
Maritime Attack: 4 Penguin, 4 AMRAAM, 2 ASRAAM, 2 1,500 litre fuel tank, 1 1,000 litre fuel tank
Accommodation: Single- and two-seat versions will be delivered.
Recognition: Eurofighter is easily recognisable from any angle - its canards (foreplanes) and delta mainplane are perhaps the main recognition features in the air. The aircraft also features a chin intake, similar to that on the American F-16 fighter, and sharply swept tail. The two-seat version has a large bubble cockpit for the additional pilot

Russia is developing its own fighter, I did think of asking to join in, but then I remembered the Eurofighter.

i dont see why.
selling licenses is NOT allowed, and each of you has to pay the price of a 'new unit research' anyway. cause otherwise it aint fair to the rest of the world.
i know that dont seem to be very realistic, but this IS a game, and the most important thing is to keep it balanced as a game, NOT the realism.

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!
Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!
To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Estimated Price (If its resesarhced as a 'Fighter/Attack Unit') = 15-16 credits
It wont be able to fly off of carriers unless it is researched specifcally as a 'Naval aircraft' unit
