A probability study (2000) of the units gave a 3-8% failure rate of a-b precision variations to target. Now, this might not mean much driving from Blackpool to Bury, but who wants a mushroom cloud over Iraq when we wanted Iran?

Not forgetting the confusion this would cause to the F-18s (US pilots) when they encounter a roundabout on the talking map???? They might just keep circling looking for the turn off.
