Having been away for a while, have only just picked up on this one. I'd say I'm dumbfounded, however if I'm honest I'm not in the least surprised. Most of us could see this eventually happening back in 2015 when it became clear that things were in just too big a mess to fix, the Vigi was clearly doomed and those in power were just too incompetent to do anything correctly.
Announcing an immediate withdrawal from service a day before however is yet another 2FTS morale destroyer.
Another day, another
PR disaster for the RAFAC. All very sad.
