Previous Labour and conservative governments just don’t understand who the real backbone of the UK are, so out of touch. The Army recruitment on TV laughable! Given the time and money I could raise a million man army here in the UK but Russia wouldn’t be my first priority it would be London!
Don’t worry, the U.S. will step up & save you….again!
talking absolute crap im from lincolnshire minutes from RAF coningsby waddingham and scampton now closed but coningsbys QRF alone has 11 typhoons just for QRF your talking absolute rubbish not to mention all the american aircraft here and other nato assets you also forget if putin attacked we have all of europe and half the world on our side it would also trigger article 44-45 so yeh YOUR TALKING CRAP
Hello nuclear submarines
Shadow of its former self very sad
Britain forces coulld.t scramble an egg. We need a strong NATO
The SUN it’s always the SUN news what a load of BS 😂😂😂. So does 95% of every other country in the world. In peace time nations don’t need Hugh armed forces hence the state of all European nations at the moment apart from Eastern Europe which really needs conventional large land forces. Even if WW3 kicked off tomorrow the whole of the west combined doesn’t have the munitions stocks to fight a Hugh conventional war. That’s why everyone now is scrambling to build new infrastructures for defence.
No, we are not ready. Our military have been underfunded for the past 50 years.
England can’t even win a football game let alone a war
Well this is good. The UK is defenceless. We're like a goat tethered to a stake deep in the savannah surrounded by predators sending out the signal to Russia: we're prey. Will anyone do anything about that? I very much doubt it.
We are spending our entire defence budget on housing and welfare for illegal blacks.
I’ll tell you what, there is NOTHING like telling the Russians what we are, ore not capable of.
Think there is only about 35 operational tanks 😂
War is a real possibility because the war mongering politicians love getting involved with other countries affairs, even provoking war to our door steps.
Should have just kept our noses out of others people's business tbf and we wouldn't be here…
There is no excuse for the UK to be this poor level of readiness.
lol 😂 the Uk military 😂
Russia would never dare to attack the UK with our state of the art Trident FIZZ..RATTLE and PLOP nuclear deterrent.
There is so much going on behind closed doors , social platforms bearly scratch the surface
The invasion of the Ukraine is also using up his ability to wage war on the West in the near future.
UK itself produces the Sky Sabre air defence missile system…
So stop mumbling about we have no capabilities but immediately order much more of these systems and ramp up the production of these systems as fast as you can!
Look at Poland in comparison.
What are we defending? We dont dont have a country, we have an economic zone, which means nothing to me.
we are NOT AT WAR the QRF is not there to fight the Russians its there to escort/destroy Airliners that lose contact
Russia can not launch an attack without us knowing as soon as they take off after they take off they have to the fly past most of NATO before they get to the UK
If Russia nukes the UK it dose not matter as the UK's counter attack is not in the UK its hiding out at sea so even a large nuke attack on the UK dose not save the major cities in Russia ceasing to exist
I noticed that the political parties have not really addressed this huge issue on defence. If there was ever an obvious warning from history, it's now. Pre WW2 , we were not prepared for the war, ie Dunkirk, and we were in a better pre-war state then ,than now. We have about 6 typhoons ready for action right now, across the UK. … 6. … We only have about 150 fighter jets, and we cannot rely on NATO partners totally,as their own air force would be defending it's own air space right? , and the USA has another "front" in China to possibly defend against. So, we need to triple the air force, at least have 200,000 actual soldiers, with at least the same in reserve, the navy has issues to buy I am not fully aware of them so won't comment, but have no doubt.. we are in a pre war state now, if you want peace, prepare to fight. 👍🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇭🇲🇨🇰
Can't defend against icbms I'm afraid. There is no such thing as a limited nuclear strike, ANY nuclear strike would start WW3.
Its ok, I’m sure Ukraine will lend us there F16!
Basically we are a big bullseye for putin to make a huge point. Really think that NATO will help. EU countries will help us after Brexit. they will have endless meetings while we melt.
Poland is strong. Uk is a joke. Remember Ww 2. ANCESTRY.
I thought Russias military was just a big joke? right?
Please already….the UK and all of Europe would be under Russian control right now if the United States taxpayers didn't fund their defense for the last 80 years….this is a joke.
Putin is stuck riding on the back of a tiger and can't get off.
Hey here’s an idea, make more, buy more! There’s no money, that’s all you hear then when there’s a world problem we find billions to help other countries! But we can’t find the money for real air defence, a larger army and more ability to produce weapons/ammo in country in mass! If we had the ability to produce more in the case of war, we can sell that or use the same machines to produce other equipment in pace time but at least we can if it comes to it! This all seems fundamental
Britain is toast if the Russians attack ! The Ukrainians thought NATO could protect them also!
It's possible we would be flooded by attack drones rather than bombers.
Sir Humphrey: "Prime Minister, what is the purpose of our Defence policy?" PM "To defend Britain!?" "No Prime Minister, it is to make people think that Britain is defended." PM "Who,.. the Russians?" Sir Humphrey: "Not the Russians, the British. The Russians KNOW it's not defended!".
What happened to the rest of NATO?
We are on our own?
The Sun dreams up a fictional scenario in which Russia has wiped out all of NATO and miraculously still has a significant air force?
What leaves are Sun journalists smoking?
40 per cent of GDP woild solve the defence and social issues.
Does this clown think it's the Luftwaffe coming over in the 1940s?Bombers? They got 100s of stand off cruise, med/ballistic unstoppable stuff.And Ivans coming over in antiquated bombers? God preseve us from these fools.
Best to publish that information then eh ! – How is this a news paper? – What a bunch of idiots masquerading as journalists.
Te amo 🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️ te Bendiga ❤❤ britain
UK Military exellence🇬🇧❤️
R western countrys should be like when my dad was a boy ,all school students should be trained like the army reserve so they are ready for action,and help students get a trade at the same time
…quite a lot less than 10. ….. 4? .. we had 800 + in cold war
Putin always knew we are literally defenceless. Our catastrophic disaster of woke and multiculturalism is our biggest weapon againt invasion . Putin wouldnt touch third world deluded idiotic britain with a bargepole!
To get to the UK they need to come down via Sweden, Norwegian, Dutch & Danish airspace.
So through the airspace of 4 other nato nations.
So just how does the russian bomber fleet arrive here unannounced & in a position to lob missiles ?
