  1. I think it’s because the US is incredibly self-conscious, and they don’t like the sound of an Italian type of name being on one of their newest helicopters, so as usual they’ll go for a dark cool military sounding name that sounds so tacky.

  2. We’ve just got to hope that mass production becomes a thing again in military vehicles as will be needed for possible future conflicts. Spending hundreds of millions of pounds on sometimes less than 10 or a dozen aircraft is absolutely ridiculous and cannot be allowed to happen anymore. We need to get to the point in our military world where hundreds of millions will get you hundreds of aircraft, not just a dozen. Mass production NEEDS to become the norm again, WW2 style.

  3.  @ENGBriseB  Wait so does that mean then that Japan somehow took over the contract for developing Tempest fighter chat? I don’t see how that’s possible as I thought it was a British developed project and we wouldn’t just hand something like that over?

  4. I really hope so. The Tempest fighter project needs to go ahead. I’ve heard some kind of news that it might be cancelled or pushed back or something, which would be hugely disappointing as it still needs to happen. It will be critical for the future modernisation of our airforce rather than being completely bankrupt buying all the necessary F35s we need.
