Back on topic. I wonder how things would have turned out if ASRAAM had been properly integrated in to the GR7/9. As below.

The Navy lost interest in the Crab Harrier because it was so limited in anything apart from mud moving. Giving it something approaching an air to air capability would have made them much more useful as a joint asset. JFH was doomed before it started. Everyone knows it.
