will the reds solve the middle easts problems by doing a few airshows? I think not. good on them for getting a jolly before Xmas but I wonder how many hangers on are travelling with them. Shouldnt that fact that we cant provide a Herc and have had to rely on the americans, tell them and the powers that be, that we are a bit stretched at the moment and it probably isnt the best use of financial resources (Rates/JPA/Fuel)
Or is it in a bid to get BAE some more dodgy contracts or to regain favour in the UAE.
As I said good on them but in the grand scheme of Defence Diplomacy cant think it will pay a large dividend.
