摘要

The Eurofighter has been operating as a multi-purpose jet in Luftwaffe hands for almost two years now, finally cleared for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions, Oberstleutnant (Lt Col) Danilo Schlag of Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 31 'Boelcke' (TaktLwG 31 'B') explained: "At the start of 2018, a module of [TaktLwG 31 'B'], consisting of six multi-role Eurofighters, was assigned to the NATO Response Force [NRF] and remained there throughout 2019." Schlag is the commanding officer (CO) of the wing, based in Norvenich near Cologne. "In addition, a further module of multi-role Eurofighters from TaktLwG 74 in Neuburg was also assigned in 2019 as part of the NRF," he added.
