WEBF,

Putting in quotes without a date attached is pretty much a waste of time as it has been clear for some time that the RN has embraced the need to train for CVF for some time. To date there...

Hval,

You seem to imply that it costs nothing to deploy an air capability to a foreign airfield. It costs millions! Also this deployed unit will require constant re-supply of everything from...

I don't disagree Wrath, but given that work on SDSR 2015 has already started such a statement certainly helps shape the battlespace.

From the horse's mouth (well SofS) at CAS's Air Power conference this morning - and on the record - "whenever CVF leaves the territorial waters of the UK it is to have 12 F35 embarked as the default...

As I am sure has been said elsewhere, the aircraft and pilots just represent the front end of the carrier strike capability. The idiocy of the SDSR decision, which the PM is about to compound in the...

I think you will find that the RN would gladly have taken the Harriers back and indeed offered to do so 3 years ago when Torpy/Timo were playing their silly games.

All I can say is that this (CVs but no Harriers) must be the final act of a completely useless CDS - I suspect that he will go down in history as yet another RAF failure (after Harding etc) and once...

The carriers are probably safe (and thus so is F35) as, along with Trident, they will keep the UK on the top table with the US, and are the only vehs that give the government worldwide clout, on...

Squirrel,

Sadly, the future of the RN is CVF and its strike capability. Without a central core of capability the requirement for frigates, destroyers, subs etc pales into insignificance and such...

squirrel,

I don't know how you can say what you said when the NAO have just ripped MoD apart over the cost of FSTA -11.2Bn and counting, and late, and not value for money....makes CVF look cheap.

Does this mean the Harriers will now be flown solely by the RN and eventually the JSF become a RN owned and operated a/c?

Jungly,
