I imagine Cameron is generalising from a not too well informed position when he talks of Air Defence Fighters having had their day. I think he means anything grey, fast and noisy. However, if he has his thinking too far skewed by the likes of Dannatt and Richards, then some pretty disastrous decisions regarding the long term may well be about to come from this review. It strikes me that Fox seems to understand this. But Cameron and Osborne are going too be very easily persuaded that less expensive kit for the Army checked at present strength and under the current media climate about war against the Taliban and so forth, means the Government may be about to make an almighty dreadful mistake.
