Is anyone still pretending that this Defence Review is a considered process?
looks like every man for himself now. Heard the other day that one of the options is to scrap C17s and keep the J fleet going for a little while longer until it can be replaced by A400M. Something about the A400M only being 30 kts slower than a C17. Christ, you have to wonder..
The stuff about SF throwing their teddies out of the cot might have some substance, who knows. What is undeniable, is that swathes of military capability, currently being used, or recently having been used is about to be lost, if not forever, at least unavailable in the short to medium term.
That said, I have to agree with the above comment, DSF appears to think he and his organization is above scrutiny.
