good, western countries need to really club together to be able to stand up to USA, Russia and China and not become complete vassal/co-opted states to their authoritarian regimes.
I’m proud of the UK on the international stage.
Mmmmmmmmmm I doubt that governments current and previous always drag their heels when it comes to defence and if we don’t fix our 💩 procurement then it’ll be money wasted we can’t afford anymore Ajax like projects
At least UK has shown they can be a reliable ally Europe can count on
The same can’t be said about some EU countries
Let’s hope they fix their application process to the forces. Easily the worst system I have ever seen which forces as much as 70% of potential applicants to drop out because it takes too long
given the piss poor state of underfunded forces where they need to find 28 billion i doubt we can.
I can save the assessment a lot of time.
We don’t have enough logistics, munitions, ships, vehicles or troops for British needs let alone all of NATO.
There, that’s a few hundred thousand saved from an assessment that would come out with the exact same conclusion. Now we can spend that money on actually buying things, the SDR has already told us what we need to get so all that’s left is someone to actually publish the DIP and get the factories working.
Something tells me however that we will always be waiting for this DIP that is just around the corner so that way the treasury will never actually have to pay for any of it.
