MHP
"Surely not".
On point, Crab. Doing "offset" can be risky business. In this case, it seems both entities own some of the problem. SA/UTC bought Claverham for the fly by wire servos, and that has been a long, long tale of trouble, while the contract offset needs brought GDC into the picture, and as Maurer stated, they still haven't delivered. Neither side, both being vulnerable, is motivated to wash all the laundry in public, so a negotiated outcome makes sense. Just my out of touch observation.
By the way, there is one other aspect of this program that struck me as I looked at the photo of the MHP in the link. Can't comment on this because I just don't know the history, but all of that claptrap on the outside made me wonder about mission creep and associated weight growth. Perhaps there is a bit of that involved as well.
