This is what happens when you cheap out on purchases

In all likelihood, the government will pursue the option of upgrades over replacement. This is the SOP for the government over the past couple of decades: namely, push back the decision for procurement of a major capital project to the next government.

Until the political parties - all of them - agree on a defence policy and a procurement system to meet that policy, we will continue to keep on tripping over our own feet and not have the equipment when we really need that equipment.
