It does appear that the tranche 1s will be true one trick ponys which will no doubt spend most of the lives sitting in hangars once the later batches arrive.

How many aircraft carriers, nuclear powered submarines,
tomahawk or trident missiles does Begium possess to make that comparison, or are you being a bit melodramatic ?
