And if they are so crap why have the MOD just bought two of them, with apparently more on order. Obviously somebody higher up in the MOD than you agrees with me.
The MoD buying them does not make them good, by default though. It just means that someone thought they were good. They've not actually been tried and tested in a true operational environment. Buying two with options for more, at that price, is small change, even in the cash-strapped MoD.
