Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,

This Charlie obviously slept through 'Allied Force', if his "while air power is a vital supporting asset to armies and navies, it cannot win wars by itself" comment is anything to go by. Didn't see much ass-kicking by the US Army's Apaches there.

Nor that many Tomahawks loosed off by the RN, for that matter. It might be a nice idea to say that sub-launched missiles are all you need, but when you don't have many of them how can you match the, say 1,011 weapons released (however accurately or effectively that might have been) by UK aircraft in '99?

Muppet!
