I'm trying to avoid getting into the slagging match that has broken out but do you not believe that a credible air defence capability and a precision muntion delivery capabiltiy to be a strand of defence/offensive capability against a terrorist threat.

And why this complete focus on the terrorist threat, it's not the only thing the military has been doing for the last 10 years and I suspect not the only issue to be dealt with in the next 10. Been a while since I looked but I believe that our military intent is more than anti-terrorism.

How does this also fit into the argument for retaining an air defence capability such as has been raging on the SHAR thread, could you not argue against SHAR retention on the same basis?

AFAIK it does have a gun that uses the same ammo as Tonka and JSF but is short of a loader.
