TBM Legend, how perceptive indeed; you're right the Taleban don't have any subs. Are you denying the contribution MR1/2 made across defence over it's 40 yrs (not just ASW)? Do you think long range multi-role ac such as MRA4 or P8 (note I said multi-role not MPA) won't have a contribution to make over the next 25 turbulent years?
