If you get rid of the Harrier GR9, what has the same capability to assist our troops on the ground in Afgan?
Get rid of the GR4, that will save even more money as it will need alot of investment to bring it up to the same capability as the Harrier.
Oh, thats right, offering the GR4 as a cost saving means losing 8 times the number of personnel (RAF) so its easier to remove capability and sc**w the RN and Troops on the ground than diminish your own empire.
