摘要

Ongoing operations are expos-ing the cracks in Britain's air-lift capacity, with the threat of further problems in 2006. Availability issues with the Royal Air Force's (RAF) L-1011 Tristar tanker transport and, to a lesser extent, with the Lockheed Martin C-130s, are causing difficulties. Moreover, the pending deployment of additional British forces to Afghanistan next year will place further demands on the RAF's airlift assets. "Some aircraft in the fleet are not 100% reliable, so this can make life challenging," says one military official involved in supporting the Iraqi deployment. The RAF has a fleet of nine Tristars, but only three are fitted now with a defensive aids suite that allows the aircraft to be operated in the Iraqi theater while carrying passengers. In October, all three of these aircraft reportedly went unserviceable. As of last week, a Defense Ministry spokesman said "one aircraft is in major routine service and two are operational." Spares have proved an issue with the Tristar fleet.
