TBM, you should expect a very stern private message from one or two regular posters here roundly abusing you for doubting that the MRH-90 and the Tiger aren't the absolute bee's knees in cutting edge battlefield support.

Unfortunately, news that the Swedes and the Germans have found the MRH-90 wanting will only increase the Australian Defence Department's need to prove that WE can make a system work that has been proven not to work overseas.

That's what we do. (Or, based on history, you be forgiven for thinking so.)

What with the debate that is dominating the Australian media at the moment, my guess is that there will now be a further delay in the Australian Defence Force taking delivery of the MRH-90 as Australia demands a multi million dollar study be done into providing a private urinal suitable for female aircrew and female front line special forces passengers to use on these aircraft.
