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?

This is the same paper that hired Boris previously.... Fact checking doesn't factor into their thinking!

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.
