Well, the Sentinels will provide real time recce and the guys on the ground can call up on Link 16 ERV, their PPLIs being instantly linked to a cab rank of EuropHoons supported by A330K tankers with full-up DASS. The EuropHoons will then snap to the precise area and prosecute some serious air-to-sand with smart weaponry updated by over-the-air re-targetting.
Meanwhile a flight of A400Ms will insert some additional troops to clean up the Taleban.
Just don't tell Bliar or Des 'strangely' Brownie - they probably think the RAF already has that capability today.
Well, it should have by now, of course. And just think of the capabilities we had in 1976 compared with 2006.....
