Some real backhanded compliments here - 66 Million quid a copy for a plane to shoot down hijacked airliners or CAS missions - both roles using a weapon that the DPA saw fit not to fit, so we get to pay again for that. Wouldn't a couple a Hawks do a better job of that? Hardly a compelling endorsement of "smart procurement" is it. Still, Putin's getting all uppity again, so maybe it will get to shoot down all those Migs over the North Sea after all.
