Some stories also stating we are seriously considering selling the HMS Prince of Wales off! Hopefully to the Aussies. Cost an arm and a leg to build and we will sell for peanuts, they aren’t even running right yet, look at the Dauntless class took 5/6 years to get it right, and we now have the best anti aircraft Destroyers on the planet.
Navy also wants to convert to Catobar, well when they were designed they wanted Catober but somebody forgot to tell the MOD that nobody made them anymore, so they contacted my mates firm who offered to design 2 at £250 million each, the useless twits at the MOD refused and went for the F35 B which costs £40 million more than a Catobar friendly F35. Not good business sense.
Note the Yanks stopped making Catobar circa 1990
When the last of their fleet of Carriers was built,
They have now designed a new system for the new batch they are building, my mate did mention this to the MOD at the time as we could have sold them 10 after ours were built!  but the Civil servants at the MOD had gone all bleary eyed by then!

And then there’s this

Selling off 30 , clearly we are funding the Proxy war against Russia by ‘teaming and Ladling’!
This is a strange twist in the recent tale concerning
The Batch one Typhoon fighters we are allegedly scraping https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/serbia-interested-in-new-surplus-eurofighter-typhoons-from-uk

Good old DM still functioning well, fueling the fear factors of the insecure proles with its "patriotic" rhetoric.
" In a move likened to 'scrapping Spitfires before the Battle of Britain'"

It seems that the National Debt will be going a lot higher then.
