Why doesn't that statement fill me with the joy it should??

Surely Airborne radar is to tell you what is coming before you launch an interceptor? Especially when you don't have much refuelling capability
Trouble is that on current deployment there are only 5 Merlin. Of which only 2 will be CN capable at any one time.
