Clever Richard:The publication of this story has nothing to do with the SDSR, does it? Stand by for waves of Russian aircraft trying to enter UK airspace only to be turned away by Typhoon fighters.
Or am I being too cynical?

Granted. But cynical or not, does the military having to remind us via these leaks about what is happening, make the case for proper defence any less valid? Isn't the fact we
have to be reminded, more indicative of a lazy, celebrity obsessed / bandwagon jumping media and a news listless, attention-span deficit public, than it is, an indication that the underlying reason for the leak has merit?
