News Item: " RAF Tornado and Typhoon fighters will start heading to the Mediterranean to join international operations to protect the Libyan people from Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's forces, David Cameron has said. "
Ok, let's see how the new hardware performs. Unfortunately, the Libyans are backing down, and called a ceasefire.
That said, I firmly predict that they will continue their assault on Benghazi, and this will result in cruise missile launches and bombing runs. The Libyans are smart enough to turn their radars off and not shoot at UN aircraft, but who owns the media owns the truth. Who says we were not shot at? We had to attack those sites in compliance with the UN resolution...
Why must this path be taken, despite the religious fruitcakes in Benghazi? To divide and rule Libya's oil supply, and stave off the inevitable disorder when Ghadafi kicks the can soon anyway.
It is a great opportunity to test out the F-22, and Rafale, but I think the Tornado will steal the show because it will do the sand moving...
