Well, I'd hardly call the Telegraph the font of all knowledge when it comes to military analysis.
The same could be said of the Typhoon and the attempts to make it a multi-role platform. I think everyone knows that it ain't what you got, but how you use it that's important, and once that is figured out Apache will prove its worth.
My opinion is that using Apache as part of the all-arms battle is the way forward, just like any other new equipment . Attempting to wield it as a force in its own right, as was once attempted with the tank, will lead to problems as the US has found out.
So. Is the problem the kit or the operator? A bad workman will always blame his tools, and the only thing under consideration is the American tactics, not how the Brits will use it.
The Telegraph should stick to what its good at: printing pictures of Liz Hurley and a first-rate Court and Social.
And Crabs should stick to what they're good at -
...none of which springs to mind right now.
