Presumably that's why we're now finally seeing QRA F3s with AMRAAM instead of SkyFlash.
Does this mean that they can now retire SkyFlash and save the support costs, or does it still offer capabilities that AMRAAM doesn't?
And why can't we hear applause?
Probably because the MOD didn't ask for the full hit back at CSP. BAE always offer 3 options dependent on cost. Guess which one the MOD invariably choose? As ex-RAF i've seen both sides of the fence that the MOD conveniently perch themselves on!
