Solving defence spending issue is not easy.

Sort out procurement (not easy) , Do not move Civil servants every two years. Remove Trident from the Defence Budget its a strategic asset. Remove Pension from the Budget. Reduce the head count at the MOD. Stop Cancelling projects

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence I agree nice to see principals in Politics

[Craig @mullercj74]

@RDPHistory Spinning Lies for a free lunch, He must be making money out of it, its the only thing I can think of for carrying on with lie

[Craig @mullercj74]

@RDPHistory obviously they just buffed it out, a bit of T Coat and filler

[Craig @mullercj74]

@almurray not learned from History, what adds to it is they continue to commit all three services to operations we cant sustain.

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence @BenWallace70 Yep i have to agree, its the easiest to build up quickly if needed, ship pilots and airframes takes longer.

[Craig @mullercj74]

@nicholadrummond @benmoores2 Drone maybe cheap but the systems on board won't be, not saying a UAS can't be the answer but not a throw away one.

[Craig @mullercj74]

@nicholadrummond @Microinteracti1 Completely agree, neither Russia or Ukrainians have the capability or willingness to luanch a larger scale attacks, it often take multiple hits to stop an AFV, adding in the success rate for a drone attack is around 10%, it would be very easy to take the wrong lessons

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence Got to agree, about the lack of real world experience, through running a business isn't the only background needed, forces, NHS, academics, union, just not professional politicians

[Craig @mullercj74]

@CoeKeighlan @RDPHistory @stanvdmaarel There have been stories in the wind, not worth starting a war over

[Craig @mullercj74]

@RDPHistory Claimed to sink virtually the whole task force so i don't get there logic on that one 😂

[Craig @mullercj74]

@RDPHistory We were not Allies in any sense I think we still had an arms embargo against Israel at the time,

[Craig @mullercj74]

@JaroslavHonzik There was a court case against Activision which Activision won games are now classed as art therefore the rules around licensing are things are allowed to look like the real thing just can't use any trademarks

[Craig @mullercj74]

@prestonstew_ Interesting wargame, my question is The Russians do this with what forces, They had trouble firing and moving in 23 with fully professional units. What makes anyone think thats changed

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence If you're under drone Surveillance and attack a bigger vehicle and speed of set up doesn't make a difference they will just follow you, It's been the same case with SP Artillery in Ukraine

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence Got to ask the same question why?

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence @nicholadrummond Got to agree with you on this. The only criteria should be is it easy to maintain reliable and have decent off-road

[Craig @mullercj74]

@mike7299 @RDPHistory Politics, if it was known that a real battle had been fought it complicates selling any negotiated settlement to the General Public. It suited both Governments to play down the fighting

[Craig @mullercj74]

@RDPHistory One of the reasons you will get conflicting reports from documents of the time on the whereabouts of Soviet navy subs is the potential of one getting sunk. Deniability has to be there, WW3 wouldn't start over a sub been dunk where it shouldn't be

[Craig @mullercj74]

@thinkdefence They have done it for the tories you seem to have a short memory on that one, as for reform better hope they dont vet any of them if they get in. We set a low bar for what is acceptable in public office.
