Unfortunately, "cold-war oriented kit" is pongo-speak for anything that doesn't immediately support them on Herrick, particularly if it's a big platform. Wokka's, Tornados, Harriers, Nimrods (MR2 & R1 varieties) don't get tagged with that label, yet all were conceived through the height of the "Cold-war".
The fact that they're all versatile platforms with wide capabilities might have something to do with it. Exactly the sort of capabilities that you would find in MRA4, Typhoon, CVF, F35, Type 26, the amphibious fleet, yet because none (well maybe one) will make it to Herrick and those not yet bought have a hefty price tag, the briefs to the media carefully use the phrase "cold-war" in relation to them. Gen Dannatt set the hare running, the Beeb are busily keeping it going.
