OK, so it’s satire….

The year is 2040:

Ajax is undergoing user validation trials

The PM (Johnny Mercer) has promised Defence spending will be 3% of GDP by 2050

The entire Army can fit inside six Boxer vehicles

Everything is drones but there aren't any REME technicians to fix them……

The Parachute Regiment is now 65% women

Colchester is actually a civilised town

The Paras conducted a combat jump in the invasion of Scotland

Just kidding, they drove……..

The RAF reversed their decision to stop hiring white men

2 years later they were branded a far right terrorist organisation and expelled from the UK

They now live in hotels in non-extradition countries

The Army now flies planes

Badly….

98% of Defence spending now goes to the Navy

The Prince of Wales carrier has still never been more than 5 miles from UK shores before breaking down…..

Male Captains of Navy ships are no longer allowed to use hire cars, drink or speak to female sailors since an entire generation had to be sacked

Each Army 1* and above is assigned a personal clerk in a vain attempt to decrease the number in jail…..
