...do we really need a £ 70 Million aircraft to attack tanks over Libya?
Why is there always someone who tries to spoil the party by shouting that the Emperor's wearing no clothes?
Sure, a motivated man on the ground with an RPG 29 (unit cost around $1500) could do the job quite easily. But a $100M dollar aircraft and weapons system is so much cooler, isn't it? And you can watch it on TV!
