I find it more and more frustrating every time I read an article like that. There seems to be a regular pattern these days, i.e. senior, qualified bloke in the operational theatre says "we are struggling with lack of equipment", and then some faceless MOD spokesperson always says something along the lines of:
"la la la can't hear you, there are no problems, you have enough kit, its really good, look how much money we are spending, you must be mistaken."
What a complete and utter farce
I despair, and am hugely glad I am no longer serving. Our forces personnel deserve a LOT better. The current government and high ranking civil serpents; waste of space the lot of them
I guess the only answer is to stop reading stories about our military - its too depressing
