We send £250m/year to India in development aid. That's the same India that just announced at Farnborough that it might want to double the number of C17s it has on order from 10 to as many as 22.
We have 6, are at war, and are broke. Anyone spot a contradiction anywhere?
As reported on
Flight Global:-
Worth more than £700 million to BAE and Rolls-Royce, India's follow-on order for 57 Hawk 132s marks the UK's latest success with a product that has now been sold to 18 countries.
Give with one hand and get back with the other? Are these things linked? I couldn't possibly comment.
