What a joke, this has to be some kind of tongue in cheek take on our defence strategy, surely?
We might be the worlds 4th biggest defence spenders by GDP but that still puts us at 3rd world level.
The RN now has 19 ships left...NINETEEN SHIPS! Two new carriers for sometime in the future when their technology will be out of date. One of which cannot go to sea because it is too costly, the remaining "operational" one with no OTH radar, no planes and a handful of Merlin's. 4 Nuke subs half of which rarely leave harbour due to costs. And if Labour get in, 2 will be scrapped if not all of them.
An airforce with about 50 serviceable front line fighter aircraft. 21 Chinooks, half a dozen Puma's, 2 AWAC's (if they arrive on time).
An Army - the entire population of which can fit inside Wembley stadium.
The entire fighting establishment (circa 160k) about half the size of Tesco's workforce.
Perleeeeze - U.S. if you are reading this...don't do anything silly with the Ukraine. GB will be wiped out in the first week
