Think of the savings, 1.5 billion for some more planes now compared to 16 billion++++ on some planes that may or may not arrive a long time from now and may or may not even work

I don't deny there is some sense in the review, but not all of it makes sense:
e.g.; $215m to study whether we build submarines locally or buy them from elsewhere.
