Jacko,
Do you have life assurance? if so, presumably this is in case of the unexpected. That's what military assets are also for. The unexpected. The Falklands was not expected, but our "assurance policy" saved the day. What the goverment has done is fundamentally dangerous. Now we have to go begging to the French, Spanish, Italians or Uncle Sam. To keep our soldiers, sailors and airmen safe from air attack.
List of country with Migs:
Most African one party states.
N. Korea.
Just about every non-western aligned middle eastern country.
Its a big dangerous world and without the Shar we are blind and helpless.
