Is it my imagination but are there some big hitters joining pprune?
As for
the Top Brass to procure equipment fit for the Cold War, but not the kind of asymmetric warfare fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
, the CAS said only last month that we must ensure our equipment is capable of matching not only the current threat, but the threat in 2025. He said there was one thing of which we could be sure. The threat in 2025 would not be the one we were facing now.
Given that, what would you advocate? By lots of cheap and cheerful today and replace it all tomorrow?
