According the the Commons Defense select committee, our troops lack enough helicopters in Afghanistan.
What they don't say is that's in part due to the fact we blew the helicopter budget. On a £1 billion order with a favoured contractor for helicopters that won't be ready until 2013.
At twice the price of proven alternatives. Which weren't even properly considered, since MoD failed to even run a competitive tender process.
Cui bono? Not our armed forces, that's for sure.
