"Try approaching BAE Systems and asking them to integrate a weapon earlier than you originally asked for - and be prepared for a bill stretching into the £1000s of millions"

Try to imagine telling the British Public that having purchased an aircraft as a fighter, we proceeded to order more, justifying the cost by classing said aircraft as being "swing role" but not funding the mods required to make it into one.

With Tornado in action over Libya and using Brimstone, it's only a matter of time until someone twigs.
