eh but that doesnt even make sense. No one is talking of how "well" its superiority in certain areas is. We are answering the question whether it has the abilities to carry out ground attacks.

so to simplify things,

can the Typhoon engage itself in ground attack?

the answer is yes it can regardless of how good or bad it does it. According to the compiled spec of the fighter, one of its missions is to be able to carry out ground attack as its secondary mission and that would make sense. Why would you have such an expensive project that is said to be a 5th generation fighter with multi role capabilities yet have ground attack as a primary mission lol. Wouldnt make sense,
