"It's designed to not wait until we have this at 99.9% perfection before it goes into the field, but get it to sort of 70% and then get it out there and then develop it from there," Mr Shapps said"
Well, this is interesting. Shapps, not renowned for any actual experience of warfare (or much else for that matter) is willing to put a new type of weapon that's not fully tested into a theatre of war where real people are dying? He implies that it's not even reached 70% of testing, so anyone using this in a real combat situation is at even more risk than usual. I sincerely hope that this isn't a cynical attempt at getting some "real world testing" on the cheap?
