Backwards PLT, DH! - as JTAC and BASO-I feel that Sharkey is talking bo££ox.
TIC response times are generally always quicker than PLTs figures. Normally the only times a jt fires response was beyond 10 mins would be multiple concurrent TIC events or difficulty clearing civ airspace for GMLRS. Have worked Harrier in the Maz and it was awesome. GR-4 in MOSHTARAK also superb.
Back to Libiya I truly wish we still had carrier CAS capability, but the GR-4 is the better tool for the job in concert with FGR.
