Without prejudice, quickie question how come the AAC didnt invest in the RC-12s or their equivalents like their US counterparts say 2 decades ago? Funding or slight rivalries between who should fly something above a certain weight and stance?

Slightly deviating the topic, the US DoD is putting more money and effort into the RC-12 fleet for the Army as well as the USAF for Afghanistan under Project Liberty. As they would be better served in that low intensity conflict.
