Jackonicko,
The reasons behind your arguments are laudable - I am sure no one on here can deny that more money needs to find its way into essential kit.
However, can you not see how narrow minded and short term your solutions are?
So if you have your way, you will bin CVF and a few other projects because to paraphrase you 'at this moment in time they are not needed'.
So what happens 10 or 15 years down the line when those very assets are needed? We will then start to hear the complaints and cries of lack of suitable equipment for the task in hand, just as you are doing now (and quite rightly, you are not alone in this aspect).
The solution is not to cancel projects - the solution is to get more money and employ smarter procurement methods.
This may seem pie in the sky - and given the Government's track record, it quite possibly is, but the short term outlook that you display in your arguments is the same short term outlook and lack of foresight from years ago that has got the Armed Forces in the mess they are in now.
Cancelling sensible future projects would send an entirely wrong message to the Government - it implies that the Armed Forces are happy to bend over and take whatever this government wants to throw at them.
