It's correct, actually. They just released the revised stats a bit early by accident. Should've been released post-budget.

'Crew: 0' refers to available trained crew after cuts.

The speed is now capped at 360 to save fuel costs. They're gonna be fitted with those 'LIMITED TO 360 - HOW'S MY FLYING?' stickers in due course too.

The new altitude is 44,000ft - air's thinner up there. See fuel saving policy.

Stingray weaponry refers to the 1960s sci-fi sub. Ever see them fcuk up? No. A few close shaves, but 100% track record and consdierably cheaper than other armament options.

So get your facts straight before you post next time.
