I have read the recent threads slating Typhoon and I can't really see what all the fuss is about, it looks like we will get good aircraft. However this got me thinking about ASTOR, my understanding is that it detects columns of vehicles using it's radar. Is this all it will do? Who will we need to use it against ? Does it fit in with the multi-role theme that we are now going for?
Must be some 5sqn peeps out there with time on their hands
