We'll send Kevin up in his glider.  That'll scare 'em ;)

With Monsieur Guffer strapped to the back for a bit of extra thrust!  :D ;D

He'll have to be somewhere near the middle, to avoid upsetting the C of G... ::)
.. and strapped to the underside of the fuselage so I don't have the clean the pebble-dash off the tailplane. :-X
You don't actually think you'd get airborne with Matt strapped to your glider  ;D
Well, MTOM is 472Kg, empty weight about 245. I'm about 105 with a 'chute on...

Not sure how many kilo's of Naga chicken he'd need onboard to complete the mission...


Can't you balance the aftermath of the Naga chicken as both munitions and as a CATO pack* ??

I am pretty sure that chemical weapons are banned under the Geneva convention, international law and the LOAC ::)


And given the MTOM of Kev's glider and the weight already used up I would definitely fit yer cheeky bastids >:( ;D

The UK: 20 aircraft (once we ship some more there, ignoring the fact that the Typhoons aren't really air-ground tasked) - pretty much everything we have, right?

Typhoon cannot currently launch Brimstone or Storm shadow (scheduled for 2018-19 introduction), but it can (and has in Libya) dropped laser guided Paveway bombs. It can also defend itself against a hostile opponent - which the Tornado cannot. No-one is really sure how the Russians are going to react.

If you're going to take out fixed installations like Oil Refineries or command and control bunkers, then Paveway is probably the munition of choice anyway so Typhoon is every bit as capable as Tornado for this. Brimstone is more use against small mobile targets of opportunity like tanks or SUV's. Storm Shadow is basically an air launched cruise missile so not really relevant in Syria.

Not sure that MG would actually need to be armed...

The sight of a semi naked mamil strapped to the underside of anything would render all but the blindest of foe speechless. The four Tornados could then sneak up behind and flatten them, rendering them dead.

Perfect diversion tactics ;D
