    • Why is an article from 2013 (pre indyref) still circulating? A lot has changed since that policy was put forward.
      Also, expect the Scots will tell us to "gettaefu!"
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

        We also thought they would vote in Irelands' favour for the 2023 Rugby World Cup but they preferred France instead , so much for being our Celtic cousins .

              • Finnish HX project for new fighters continues despite Covid-19.
                This is possible as they will increased their overall defence budget from $3.8 billion in 2020 to $5.8 billion in 2021. So going from 1.4% GDP to 2.0% GDP.

                    Could you just imagine the heads exploding if we did a jump of that size in one go?

                      • Here's my idea. Just buy 16 Gripens. At the same time have Saab bring a Demo gripen. All the spotters will think it is the same aircraft doing touch& go all over the country.
                        It worked for the PC12M. You all thought it was the demo model....
                        Six months later, when the minister for Agriculture resigns again, put the IAC roundel on.
                        Nobody will notice.
