Can't believe we're getting those things. :-\
As opposed to get something that isn't ready. And may never be ;-)

Good point. I would have thought the Rafale would have been an excellent
choice, although I am concerned about operational range (the SH has a much
larger fuel capacity).

And I suppose the type of operations Australia gets involved with don't
require that much in the way of air-to-air agility.
