Train hard, fight easy that's what I say.
A DAS between you and a SAM system = fairly effective
A DAS between you and a raghead+AK47 = totaly ineffective.
Large range between you and raghead+ AK47= very effective
Lumps of rock between you and almost all sytems = 100% effective.
Take your pick.
The thing that pisses me off is that the voracity of the general public's anti LF sentiment is inversely proportional to their lattitude. 65 years ago i suggest the opposite would have been true.
The UK enjoys a feedom and economic well-being that it could be argued is a direct result of the training and therefore ability of all of our armed forces. A little bit of noise is such a small price to pay.
