QE class 滿載36架F35B(平時出任務24架),但係因為未到貨(之前政府cut budget所以遲咗落訂,又買唔足數
),所以CSG21只可以帶14架F35B,仲要有6架係嚟自美國海軍陸戰隊,英國先出得8架F35B
跟住英國審計署上年先屌完,Merlins預警機計劃比原定延誤18個月,即係今年九月之後先部署得,即係CSG21要勉強帶住得半桶水嘅預警機,即係預警能力大打折扣
即係簡單啲來講隻QE暫時今年都係戰力欠奉,做下show就冇問題,但始終欠缺戰鬥力,809中隊要到2023年先完全成軍,但屆時HMS QE已經下水9年、服役5年
屌,英國國防部真係好浪費納稅人公帑,啲嘢無限delay同超支
