Whilst I understand the rhetoric here I think the idea that the Jaguar was not a useful weapon in our armoury right to the end is wrong and shows a deal of ignorance of modern air power.
We have only a pitiful number of weapons systems capable of deployment of air-to-ground weapons - such a small number in fact that we should really abandon all global ambitions of projecting power. The loss of even one of these aircraft is lamentable but to lose the last squadron from a force so capable and professional should cause us all to worry seriously about a government that refuses to put its' money where its' mouth is.
