<p>The costs of operational flying sorties are calculated on a net additional cost
basis, i.e. they are based on those costs, over and above existing funding, that the
Department would not have incurred but for the activity. As the aircraft involved
were already deployed on operations, additional operating costs are not expected from
the activity. No net additional costs for the weapons consumed will materialise unless
the Department assesses that additional weapons must be procured to meet current planning
assumptions.</p>
