		For the RAF, the cuts involve the loss of 130 aircraft by the end of 2007, comprising four complete frontline combat squadrons together with reductions for other units.
		RAF Harriers have also been used for overseas deployments such as Northern Watch over Iraq, but the previously announced demise of the Navy's Sea Harrier force will see part of the RAF's existing Harrier fleet committed to carrier operations, reducing the number available for other roles.
		The Eurofighter Typhoon is said to be the future of the RAF, but with 3 less Jaguar squadrons and one less Tornado F.3 squadron to requip, the number of Typhoons required will fall substantially, perhaps to as low as 100-120 aircraft.
