UK — Fight Russia? Britain has just 40 tanks and around a dozen frigates and destroyers ready to go war – the lowest figures in modern times
- The head of Britain’s armed forces is not ‘happy’ about Britain’s tank shortfall
- Britain is now investing in armoured vehicles – ready by the end of the decade (THAT’S 7 YEARS FROM NOW)
At the Commons defence committee yesterday, his claim that Britain could provide a division – around 17,500 fully equipped troops accompanied by vehicles and artillery – to the alliance was dismissed as ‘a fantasy’.
Tanks? Troops?
I thought the UK was an island nation.
And aren’t we in the 21st C?
Its true. They have nothing much for war fighting anymore. Except the claim of nukes. But nukes may be fake as so many sites have claimed. They are just another of the lies the media and our leaders have told us over the years. Anyway, the downfall of the UK was when they started closing all their steel plants, shutting down the coalmines and selling off the railways. Once the country was deindustrialized it became a paper tiger roaming the world as a financialized economy and market center. No they cannot fight the Russians. Those 40 tanks are how many the Russians lose in a single day of battle!
