@_HenryBolton My theory is it's all a big ploy by the government to make us look militarily weak. Then build political backing to increase money for the defence.
Starmer made that speech in Germany as a precursor to increased defence spending.
@bepeco@freespirit72@Hunterr1@thinkdefence 100% JSM. Isn't modern warfare all about having weaponary to detere the Russians?
Another question, if you may, are the Russians currently worried about our F35B's? Are they a good deterrent?
@bepeco@freespirit72@Hunterr1@thinkdefence Would the neigh sayers for the F35B be slightly swayed now the UK are looking at the stormbreaker, which is tripling the range the F35 can now strike from? (18m to 69m)
@thinkdefence I would love a world without politics and politicians. I like big guns, fighter planes and powerful ships. Politicians promise all these shiny toys but their always years away. Starmer will only see one thing he loves succeed soon and thats Arsenal win PL25/26. Labours doomed.
@TBrit90 The decline will continue until politicians have the people on side, this won't happen until people start dying in a war with another big nation.
@SkyNews@tortoise@haynesdeborah@TBrit90 what's the state of the Royal Navy currently? In the War Game, we had 1 x T45 available and 1 got destroyed. Is that all we have ATM? Thanks.
