Still confident foldingwings?

Now that's a different argument that perhaps should not be discussed here on a public forum. However, why would we want to make multiple or 'uninterrupted runs' over the target area. That's what the weapons are designed to do, not the aircraft.

Save to say that both weapons in question have significant accuracy and significant killing power. Indeed, one can be delivered with virtual impunity!

So, Yes, quietly confident.

T-E,

That's the very point, surely. The same number of targets prosecuted by fewer more effective aircraft with modern smart weapons. It is stretching it a bit to suggest that the graphic is telling the world that a smaller air force is a better air force.

PS. I'm going for a malt now, before this exchange ends up like MSN Messenger!

I was just pleased to see that in the bottom middle picture, our corporate PR gurus have pluralised the 1 aircraft shelters. This poster must have been endorsed at at least SO1 level, probably higher. Fills me with confidence in our leaders.

No mention was made of how the single airframe could be in two or more places at once.

Well, schroedinger discussed a similar situation with his cat and a box. Maybe the aircraft was in a superstate

Have multi-layered air defence systems been abolished or are out of fashion? No runs into target through hot MEZs? Blimey, the world has moved on – anyone want to buy a second-hand S-300?

The official assessment by the UK MoD confirmed the tremendous 96% hit capability, albeit achieved under range conditions (real combat conditions usually show lower hit capabilities for virtually all of the world’s weapon types).

So in an ideal world the 100% thing is rubbish, never-mind a real shooting war

All this is not meant as a criticism of Brimstone, just the over optimistic propaganda being passed off as fact by the MoD

So we can select the weapons switches on the second pass.... .
