Wrath....ironic indeed, but then there are so many ironioes out there right now. And don't forget there were a lot more GR sqns then, not the 7 or 5 or less we can plan on today.
For those considering a UK carrier with resurrected GR9's on board, could you explain exactly how a Harrier can patrol a NFZ with no radar and only short-range IR missiles? Or how the carrier can defend itself against the threat of all those Libyan strike assets?
IF (and it's a big IF) we could mount a shared NFZ, the only aircraft we could use would be F3 or Tiffie, neither of which I think are in a position to do such. And as for necessary AR assets??? Happy to be shown to be wrong though.
