Early in the article you can see that this is fantastic news for all of us.

Spending of £1.1bn on defence has been announced by the prime minister.
This will pay for drones,..............

A drone for every man, woman and child in the UK, to borrow/adapt some of the PMs earlier rhetoric.

This is also fantastic news for the likes of DJI.
Phantom 2 Vision+ retail price : £900 (free next day delivery)
Phantom 2 Vision+ MOD price : £9000 (Tx & battery £9000, lead time 3 years, delivery £9000)

A bargain by government standards.

Well if the F35 stories are anything to go by, we might not need a DJI fleet to simply fly off into the big blue yonder never to be seen again, it looks like the F35 is also plagued with problems. Remember the F111?

Perhaps they could use the Scorpion Jet http://www.scorpionjet.com/ as a replacement? Its cheap, relatively speaking.

Well I'll tell you one thing - it looks awesome!

[Loopdreams]

That would be a brilliant advert for the US defense industry.

Scrapping the Red Arrows would show that they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.  :(

Red Arrows just buzzed my house in their way to Blackpool.
Awesome sight in a double arrowhead formation, which was great as I'm am archer too. :D

I think I got them on the way back ... about 10 mins ago they all flew directly over my house, what a noise. I'm in Lincolnshire but they were headed in the opposite direction to RAF Scampton, they were north east bound.
