Cold War Relics
How do you get a job where you can talk about anything you like with absolutely no regard whatsoever for reality.
This article in the Telegraph from our old friend Con Coughlin caught my eye, it looked pretty promising until I started to read.
It starts with a similar thought to what I posted yesterday, that is Nick Harvey is obviously trying to defend forthcoming cuts as agility and adaptability, that one of the reason for our failures in Iraq and Afghanistan is not because have a lack of agility or adaptability but because we have a lack of numbers.
So far so good.
In fact it is very perceptive and normally I would say, bloody brilliant article there Mr Coughlin
But then it veers off into the same tired old drivel spouted by people who really should know better, about Typhoon or CVF.
This is what he said
Thus the RAF has spent billions of pounds on its new Typhoon Eurofighter, which is brilliant at intercepting any Russian aircraft that attempts to breach British airspace, but useless when it comes to Afghanistan, because the Taliban has no air force to intercept, and the Typhoon has no ground-attack capability.
What utter utter drivel
