They can make new ones in 6 months.Whilst our army is kind of small, we have nukes. We shouldn't really need a large force.
I imagine that Ukraine will be considering how it can acquire nukes again after this war is over.

17,000 Infantry, 4000 tankers and 5000 Artillerymen. Thats all the UK has as ground fighting strength. Add in that the rapid deployment last year to Europe, around 100 CR2`s actually worked, and many Warriors and other armoured troop movers brokee down. Yup UK is a defence only force now and in poor shape
Not really. UK doesnt have any long range, high speed abm kit and the best we have is warship based. Its one reason we are joining the Poles for making CAMM-MR as a european equivalent to PAC3 and Germanybis sending IRIS . Simulations are no substitute for the real thingI think given the sensitivities what is known will be very different to what is actually the case. I would put these kinds of systems up there as some of the most sensitive.
Rubbish im afraid. Year long waiting lists for all branches. Tank regiments are dead mans shoes for promotionsNobody wants to join the Forces and nobody wants to pay for it.
I think we would have to disagree on that. It’s not going to be known information.Not really. UK doesnt have any long range, high speed abm kit and the best we have is warship based.

Erm, they're still in production dude.I think at this point we can make an intelligent decision that the Taurus is in poor shape. Most likely Germany has failed to maintain them to the point they are just paperweights
Plenty of people want to join but crapita does it's usual excellent job of ruining the process.Nobody wants to join the Forces and nobody wants to pay for it.
Enough people on this thread have actual hands on with the current kit the lads have.I think we would have to disagree on that. It’s not going to be known information.
And they wouldn’t be posting about it here.Enough people on this thread have actual hands on with the current kit the lads have.
They might be now in production.Erm, they're still in production dude.
If you're looking at the introduction date of 2005 that's when they first entered service not when they were last made.
Always makes me chuckle the way people on here think they know every type and number of military hardware the UK has.I think we would have to disagree on that. It’s not going to be known information.

The army has missed its recruitment targets every year since 2010 so they clearly are struggling to get people through the door. The other services have similar problems with the navy struggling to have enough ratings to deploy the required ships (combination of falling recruitment and people quitting at an alarming rate)Rubbish im afraid. Year long waiting lists for all branches. Tank regiments are dead mans shoes for promotions
A lot of the technical and scientific expertise of the Soviet Union came out of Ukraine, people like Sergei Korolev and Valentin Glushko who designed the R7 rocket and it's engines that put Sputnik were both from Ukraine.So we can pretty much say with certainty then that the test failed and that it did not enter service in September
Correction, the USSR demonstrated that capability as early as the 1960s.
The reason Russia has had such trouble with Sarmat is because it's their first attempt at a home grown ICBM, as the USSR used to get them built by Ukraine. This is also the reason Russia have had such a nightmare refurbishing the Admiral Kuznetsov, because Ukraine built all the aircraft carriers and so not only did Russia not have any experienced shipbuilders to task with repairing it but they didn't even have a dry dock big enough to put it in prior to 2022 (when they knocked two together).
I’ll give you one big clue why the army is crao at recruiting and retainingThe army has missed its recruitment targets every year since 2010 so they clearly are struggling to get people through the door.

Army recruitment goals not met since 2010
Figures reveal a cumulative deficit of 22,350 in the Basic Training Starts (BTS) targets for the British Army, compared to the total recruitment goal of 119,530 set over the period from 2010 to 2023.ukdefencejournal.org.uk
Richard Tice is volunteering in Ukraine. There's just one problem: Reform voters hate him for it. He's getting utterly bodied in the comments.
I wish twitter would force poster to have their ip address country, because most of these “reform” voters speak a form of English that doesn’t sit quite right. If that makes senseReform is basically MAGA for the UK. A bunch of knuckle dragging, low IQ idiots who believe any populist nonsense they are fed as long as it appeals to their bigotry.
Was this one of those cardboard drones the us is very annoyed at Australia for inventing? Or was it something else?
