I suppose the guy's entitled to his opinions, but what about the now lightweight Telegraph? You'd think they'd fact check the article. Page makes one incorrect assumption which a proper defence journalist would spot, and the rest of article suffers for it. Does the paper not have a defence editor?

Can anyone copy in the Telegraph text to avoid the paywall? Cheers 👍

Initial glimpses from the ladder, Page uses 2019 A400 availability rates i.e. much lower than recent/current, is apparently unaware of the Strategic Airllift Capability C-17s in Hungary, I could go on but won't.
