Typhoon in the Telegraph
Below the Glidepath - not correcting
Some real backhanded compliments here - 66 Million quid a copy for a plane to shoot down hijacked airliners or CAS missions - both roles using a weapon that the DPA saw fit not to fit, so we get to pay again for that. Wouldn't a couple a Hawks do a better job of that? Hardly a compelling endorsement of "smart procurement" is it. Still, Putin's getting all uppity again, so maybe it will get to shoot down all those Migs over the North Sea after all.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
And why Adam Lusher?
Could it be that one Thomas Harding is not as much in favour.

But we should be sooo grateful!
Had to laugh at Mike Turner's
So, by that logic, if we didn't have Typhoon, we'd have a huge budget hole?

Safeware,
Think the point is that if we weren't buying typhoon, we wouldn't have the workshare and therefore wouldn't get the tax revenue we get from it, which is equal or greater than the amount being spent on it....

pba,
I know what he was trying to get at. Just think that it is a bit rediculous to claim it will cost "nothing", like we should be so bloody grateful.

If it costs nothing why limit procurement to a couple of hundred*? Lets buy several thousand of the things.
