**What it does not test.** Does not establish new capability for the Typhoon fleet; this is a support and sustainment contract, separate from the BAE radar production deal.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Sustains existing UK-run Typhoon support; no new sovereignty question moved. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
