That's not what was touted when it was first plugged to the Airforce. It was supposed to come into service all singing, all dancing and with sheds more capability (Comms, camara ect). So what happened?
It did, by the spec laid down initially....
But the equipment was never brought up to modern standards. The MR2 was more capable in some areas because it had been repeatedly upgraded. You need to compare Y2K MR2 vs the MRA4 to get a good comparison.
