Where? By the lads down at the Old Dirty Duck at closing time doesn't count.Timmymagic wrote:It's being speculated that Combat Air is going to take the biggest hit as part of the 'Integrated' Review...
Looks like the MoD is going to finally admit that the 138 figure is unachievable, looks like we may be about to bail on F-35...not sure if it also means the Tranche 1 Typhoon reprieve is reversed as well....
From where I sit, there is absolutely zero upside in messing with the governments commitment to 138 F-35's over the life of the program. It won't save money, just piss off a shed load of people. So it won't happen. Politicians aren't stupid about political stuff.
As for Typhoon Tranche 1's. Does anyone outside of the RAF care if they operate a few obsolete aircraft or not?
