Isn't that just a few days worth, globally?
(I could regret this...)
Yes, but that's not really the point; if the geology of the north basin is as the crystal ball gazers say it is, it's going to be about half the size of the whole North Sea in terms of output. The Kelpers understandably have a containerload of 10 gallon hats on order.(I could regret this...)

And eurofighters don't have that many seconds worth of bullets.
RAF ones have zero seconds of bullets 
ks.All Typhoons are fitted with a gun, which is loaded when required (which includes QRA)
The story goes...
Typhoon originally designed with a cannon (same one as fitted to Tornado). MoD ops requirements then decided that they didn't need one as any future air war would be fought outside the range of a gun - no thoughts given to air to surface strafing. Unfortunately, the Flight Control System needs to know exactly what weight is where on the aircraft, so removing the gun may have saved the cost of buying the gun, but then we either had to rewrite all the flying control software (kerching!) or replace it with ballast (concrete was talked about in the press).
Thankfully after a bit of "discussion" the gun was refitted.
k they wanted with it or pay for a CCN for us as it was a change to spec.DJRC said:
There was no discussion over that. We told them it was designed for the weight, it was being delivered to that spec and they could do what the fk they wanted with it or pay for a CCN for us as it was a change to spec.
There was a discussion - I sat in meetings with Typhoon requirements managers where it was pointed out to them exactly what you wrote. For supposedly smart people, they really didn't grasp the concept of the FCS using the aircraft weight so much.k they wanted with it or pay for a CCN for us as it was a change to spec.Ian Lancs said:

The RGs are pushing quite hard for direct flights between BA and the islands. Whilst direct links are a good thing if their intentions are honourable it is strange that they are pushing for this yet banning cruise ships, etc.
If an RG civilian airliner from Argentina landed on a regular, scheduled basis at MPA for a number of months until it became part of the furniture, I wonder what we would do if one day the airliner turned out to be a C130 loaded with RG special forces?

That had been mooted on here by a few others, either its for that scenario, to earn some extra revenue or to get some stranglehold over the movement and therefore freedom of the islanders. Of lately the Argies have been doing a very good job of losing friends and alienating people after trying to isolate us and now picking on Repsol. This jingoistic nationalism is all very good for getting the public vote internally but they forget these days there are global stakeholders that will not react well to this sThe RGs are pushing quite hard for direct flights between BA and the islands.
