This Libyan conflict (whether you disagree with it or not) has found out David u-turn Camerons pathetic defence budget cuts.
Its costing-
-£40,000 per NIGHT for the pilots of those carrying out the air strikers
-£35,000/£70,000 per 1 hour of Tornado/Eurofighter Typoom flights
-£35,000 per 1 hour for Sentinel surveilance flights
-£1MILLION per tomahawk launched
Davids Camerona cuts the Navy and Air Force are unnacceptable.
In five years time we will have NO
-Tornado Aircraft (being phazed out)
-Harriers (already moth balled)
-No aircract carrier with aircraft (no chance of Ark Royal coming back)
-Possibly no future CVF (future aircraft carrier) if the conservatives have their way
-F35 figters, either that or a SMALL amount e.g. 15.
One thing the Conservatives dont uderstand is that we are an Island, we NEED naval prowess, were a huge part of the UN and Nato, cutting all of our resources and leaving us with not much at all is seriously going to overstretch us and cost us in the long run, its being shown in Libya right now. It would be cheaper if we still had Ark Royal and the Harrier fleet.
