Hollow Vessels

... So is the following a fair summing up of the current situation - As we learn from the BBC today that Ark Royal together with its Harriers are all to be scrapped with immediate effect - when at the same time we read
that India - a nation we continue to prop up with aid financially - has just placed an order for Russia to supply some 300 'stealth jet fighters' for the Indian Airforce costing some £18-billion - We are informed that the RN will not have a carrier with fighter jet launch ability for at least the next 10 years - by which time the new carrier will enter service - but devoid of any suitable aircraft - and unable to land allied jet fighters on its deck.

If true then lunatics are indeed surely running the MoD asylum.
