Two waves of Eurofighters over our house this afternoon.
5 Harriers shot down during the Falklands skirmish, against a relatively small power as Argentina is, they’re going to need a shed load more against a superpower like Russia.
Total losses in the Falklands were 258 men, 6 ships,(10 others damaged in battle) total 34 aircraft(in battles or lost as a result) at a cost at the time of £3billion(about £10billion now).
We cant afford such losses. A few Eurofighters flying this way and that to get in the papers might bolster the Sun, Mail and Dail Star, but I dont think the powers that be, are going to seriously consider such a move as going up against Russia, no matter the provocation..
