I’m a veteran tank soldier with time in the Challenger 3. Here’s my take on its problem https://t.co/b3SviqjRV1

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

This is hugely important intervention - Training must be non negotiable - my view @bbc5live at 5pm

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the Chief of the Defence Staff, said operational activity and exercises would “come under pressure” without more money for the British Armed Forces.

No deal for Ukraine is better than a bad deal - challenging to judge if Trump’s new deal any better than the “Status quo ante”?!

@bfjconsulting @Michael89529595 @RoyalTankRegt @headlinenf @TankMuseum Yes good call - you are absolutely right - I think the monarch may have been on it for one of the great @RoyalTankRegt parades but I’m sure another 4thTanks can put us right?

Defence must get the money to fund SDR as previously promised by the Government.

I’ll be doing Q&A @Telegraph 5-6pm today

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

If Dan Jarvis cannot obtain more money for defence he must go, and so must Starmer https://t.co/goLWiTr1xt

@Michael89529595 @RoyalTankRegt @headlinenf @TankMuseum Not much I don’t think - we still did Active Edge and could only have a small percentage away at any time

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

@robert_lyman Thank you Rob I’m glad you are enjoying Tank Command and a similar reaction from many veterans - you are right about Ukraine changing the way we fight with autonomous being the operative word!

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

@MickBourne1 @RoyalTankRegt @headlinenf @TankMuseum Yes it was and the links weighed a ton! CET a bit more straight forward I expect?

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

@MickBourne1 @RoyalTankRegt @headlinenf @TankMuseum Yes! End of a long exercise on Solltau

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

@Michael89529595 @RoyalTankRegt @headlinenf @TankMuseum Not so 4RTR evolved from D Battalion of the RTC hence the names beginning with “D”.

[Robert Lyman 🇺🇦 @robert_lyman]

I’m really enjoying this Hamish: it’s a deeply personal love letter to the tank, as part of a wider combat system. Comments on SDR and Ukr might quickly date it, but for readers today it perfectly contextualises the role of armour in warfare today, and why we need many more of them!

[Hamish DBG @HamishDBG]

My piece in the @Telegraph is directed at CDs to show support to the Armed Forces not for Army generals to step down

[GB News @GBNEWS]

'The two most principled and honourbale members of the cabinet have now gone.'

Former Army Officer Hamish De Bretton-Gordon calls on Army Generals to stand down in protest against the Labour government's approach to Britain's defence.
