And now, the differences between the JSF and the A400M
This Bloomberg article on the seemingly intractable problems with the Airbus A400M military transporter is a reminder of the risks of reality suspension in defence projects world wide.
The A400M has the potential to destroy government funds on a European scale, in terms of cancellation and total loss of investment.
But the JSF, which is looking tragically short of capabilities to destroy enemy aircraft and targets, has the capability of destroying western defence budgets world wide.
Europe needs to try harder.
