RAF
PR are making a big song and dance about the fact that a few Russian aircraft are flying in international airspace somewhere near the UK, so as to justify the existence of the F3/Typhoon/E-3D fleet and UKADGE.
Nothing wrong with that. QRA have barely turned an operational wheel in 17 years, and we can see the result in the massive dilution of AD assets. So now there is some activity, absolutely nothing wrong with reminding the country that there is still a requirement to poice our skies and defend our shores. Had it been the mighty SHAR you can bet your bottom dollar the Navy
PR people would have made a much bigger fuss.
