Not knowing a great deal about RAF replacements I will leave it alone.

But the Army has a number of jobs that need attention, obviously the Apache has taken care of the Anti Armour role. But what are we to do with the ageing Lynx fleet and the very old Gazelle.

Both of these are being used as ISTAR assets, and I'm sure are still doing a very good job. But in the interests of economy, serviceability and survivability maybe something newer with updated avionics and DAS would fit quite nicely into this very different world since 9/11.

Any suggestions to MOD procurements. Don't expect a reply!!
