I thought the same thing but Tornado availability was not mentioned in the article.

I think the torpedo was mentioned some weeks ago - also in very low serviceability levels.
Interesting that these figures are made publically available. As these figures are a direct indication as the ability to defend the country.

Perhaps they're boasting.

Let's face it.............. it's not the sort of thing that Mrs Merkle and her cronies have the slightest interest in.
Until they get someone in power who gives a FRA it's not going to change.
