Question

What do you think of the Tempest fighter?

Short answer

The response treats Tempest as a modern strike-aircraft project involving Britain, Japan, and Italy, with the eventual design still to be seen.

Notes

The name Tempest is used here for a modern successor to Eurofighter with a substantial strike role. Britain and Japan are identified as the main drivers of the project, with Italy also participating. Its eventual capabilities are left open while development continues. The prompt is transcribed as asking about a 'Tempest two fighter', but the response concerns the modern international project and supplies no assessment of the wartime Tempest II.
