RAF & Luftwaffe EF-2000's grounded

[Reaper]

Just read on the official RAF socials that the RAF Typhoons and Red Arrows are temporarily grounded due to an issue with the ejection seats. This might also be the case with the Luftwaffe Eurofighters and Tornado's.

What about the flights restrictions due to suspected malfunction of the Tornado & Eurofighter ejection seats? Is the problem now solved?

As stated in the link you provided:

Initially the suspension affected the Panavia Tornadoes, but they were reinstated after verifying that the aircraft’s input batch was not affected because they belong to a different production line than the Eurofighter.

Both the Panavia Tornado and BAE Hawk use the Martin-Baker MK.10 seat, while the Eurofighter carries the MB MK.16A. While, as noted, the Tornados were released for return to active service, for the time being the RAF grounded the Hawks until revisions are completed.
