Oh good, only 28 years to wait then. So much short sightedness over the years has put us in this position.

Yup crazy strategy. This is about the only positive that has come out of all this mess, has given the west a huge wakeup call but may be a little bit too late

I think that's where they want the nuclear mix to be when the UK becomes net zero or something along those lines.
Headlines maybe a tad bit misleading without context imo, or I'm just too optimistic :D

it's called kicking a can down a road until someone else takes over, I bet they hope labour so then they can blame labour for everything

what kind of missile can take out an entire shopping mall in 1 hit?

One that hit's an ammo storage area of the mall, or a thermobarbaric dyson sphere illegal war crime bomb if you ask the daily mail

Nah that would take too long. What he will do is create a government program for nuclear development called "UK nuclear program", then when it becomes obvious it's failing rename it "NHS nuclear program" :D

(For anyone missing the joke, that is exactly what he did with his failed track and trace program :P).

this is like all the junk germany sent isn't it?

"Thank god we can get rid of his crap off of our balance sheet whilst claiming the full world list price to the media"
It's more a case of the Ukrainian air defence service being fully trained on Buk/S-x00 systems and having the parts/upgrades/missiles for them to hand.


germany sent Stinger missiles, those sre old Soviet crap!
Yeah, the stingers Germany sent are American and the same missiles that saw the tide of the Soviet war in Afghanistan turned. They may be a dated design but they have been revised and the new ones are capable of downing most of Russia's helicopters, ground attack planes and transports.

Having said that, as above the Soviet stuff being sent to Ukraine is the stuff they are trained to use, can maintain and have warehouses full of missiles for. Plus they can take out any aircraft (and in some cause missile) Russia are using in Ukraine.

I think the general view is that Putin didn't really expect a tough time at all and Ukraine was supposed to roll over in the face of the overwhelming Russian assault with many Ukrainians welcoming their Russian liberators.
