For those that are adamant the Puma is to get scrapped, do you actually know what is involved in the upgrade and the capability that will be gained?
I suspect you don't know the details and whilst it is a rumour network, for your own credibility it might be worth finding out. It could save embarrassment in the not too distant future as the LEP is giving a 'brand new' aircraft back to the RAF that is nothing like its Mk1 cousin
This is not a rant or 'having a go' at anyone, just hoping that there is no needless Puma bashing that is based on 'fact'
