Don't laugh, they call the latest generation "hittiles" because they aren't supposed to miss! (but they still do)
I could give you statististics about how poor their systems are. As an example, according to the press, in the Kosovo campaign they fired 400 Harm missiles at one radar installation. The story goes that eventually the RAF fired one Alarm which destroyed the installation. The jokes about using the QL are not far off the mark. Alarm is powered by 68008 - all the original code was prototyped on a QL.
