Of course the obvious problem would be if it encountered another Fighter with a jammer. Than the pilot wouldn't be able to see at all. Maybe a periscope like device for backup?
"In the 1990s the UK government decided to join the JSF (now F-35) programme rather than continue the P.125."
So they unloaded a shotgun in their foot.
RAF are keeping their Tranche 1 Typhoons. Royal Navy are however SOL.
You made me remember the phrase from Crack Life
"Why did I do that, you ask? That's because I hate my job. Why not do something stupid before I kill myself?"
