Why do that when you can just waste more money instead. Don't forget to spend at a premium to "buy British" from American owned companies.

@insomniacbritgaming1632 I don’t think you understood, the MOD has a history of buying substandard gear at a mark up because its “British” despite the companies being owned by larger American companies and that being where the profits and often tax’s go. Not only is the motivation hollow but it has also cost a great deal to the taxpayer and put our troops lives at risk numerous times. I love my country and that is why I lament it’s flaws and very much wish to see them fixed.

@insomniacbritgaming1632 If you say so, from what I’ve heard, seen and read you can rarely trust MOD claims, the projects are routinely over-budget, often years late and despite all the good press from journalists who take things a face value have a habit of displaying numerous faults the moment they are deployed to the field, not to mention that they rarely live up to the original promises. I hardly need to mention that we have an increasingly puny military thanks to cuts always hitting personal and never massively over budget ego trips by higher ups, at this rate we shall have a serious shortage of men to use the tech.

@insomniacbritgaming1632 So have I, I was on a public services course and a bunch of my mates are serving, I would be too if not for health reasons. I’m from Britain, if not I doubt I’d have any interest in what is going on. Private Eye has done good work on the state of the MOD and you’ll learn a lot more about the gear from soldiers than from press releases thats the same anywhere and in any time. Back during the war in Afghanistan there was a great deal more public interest in such matters but it’s mostly dried up by now unfortunately.
