calculating L1 will be tricky - lots of factors and will be almost impossible for us to predict like the mk2 engine deal - every defence journalist was reporting an almost certain victory for ej 200, but turned out pretty different in the end

i think a sqd has 4-5 trainers - going by navy's order 16 mig 29s which included 4 mig 29kub trainers
