No intention by me to start WW3 here; but whichever way you look at the ADF, it is becoming badly broken. The Air Force also has pilot issues with FTS graduates waiting 18 months or so for a Hornet conversion.
There is most urgent need to look at the bigger picture and try to analyse the reasons for emerging shortcomings. Throwing money at hardware will not remedy organisational deficiencies. Unless the political class awakens to the deteriorating military readiness status, the whole show will become more or less moribund pretty quickly.
