I’m sorry but the QEC class runs on WINDOWS XP. How is this not a major problem?????

And after the SA80/L85 debacles, what idiot would believe MoD’s claims otherwise?

Remember when the British claimed the SA80 would be the cutting edge of infantry warfare and that no other rifle would be as advanced? How did that work out?

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/new-aircraft-carriers-dont-run-windows-xp/ that is a popular myth. As for the SA80 the problems with the A1 were sorted out with the A2, they are currently being upgraded to the A3 standard. It is by all accounts, an excellent servic3 rifle in its updated incarnation.
