Liam Fox, shadow defence secretary, said: "Because the contract was shrouded in secrecy, it is only now that we learn that the planes will not even be fitted with defensive aids to enable them to fly into war zones."
Is he saying that the DAS system that is being fitted (and always was being fitted) is not good enough or like most people, doesn't know what he is talking about?
There are enough photos of the Australian MRTT that give an idea of what is fitted and the FSTA is no different.
