there is no desire to purchase or lease an MPA fleet
Spare me the bullsh*t...the level of cynisism from some of the retired-turned armchair generals on this forum is physically draining. Look around at current affairs; do you seriously consider your assertion that there is no desire for a mpa to be anything other than totally ill-informed nonsense??
No finance for it? Sure, make that argument if you want to, but take your turbo cynical view elsewhere
