"The accidents". one way or another, have not stopped, unless one has short memory.

The very existence of the Reds depends on an unquantifiable belief that they are good for recruiting, image, trade, prestige, ceremonial and the like.

On the cost side they gobble up funds, maintain obsolete aircraft, keep about a dozen trained fast-jet pilots from useful roles, and consume vast amounts of red paint, dye, fuel and vino.

Time was, but this is 2022. Perhaps we should try to do without, as we are practising with fewer and fewer.
