Oh yay, Our Govt bins the F-16 purchase. Bins the Skyhawk strike force. And now they decide to replace the Iroquios with the NH-90.
When will these brainless mongrels learn?
Our neighbours over the water, remember them Aunty Helen? operate the Blackhawk, we operate with them a lot, remember ANZAC Aunty Helen?
Now we go and order the NH-90, THAT works.
There must be a shed load of spare parts and common equipment between the two when we are operating from forward bases. Or did I miss something?
Oh the pain.
ps it is only $771 million, and we don't see the first one until 2010.
