... Sir Humphrey explains ....Why?
Does having 260 warheads compared with 180 make any difference when our perceived threat has 4300? And why place our aircraft carrier in the Pacific?
That's always been the case I reckon. The other country needs to be the USA of course. We do have the nukes as a deterrent and the Russians would need to get here first.I'd read recently that due to the age of our military equipment, low personnel numbers and the amount of military equipment we have, if Russia did invade this country we wouldn't be able to stop them without assistance from another country.
That is a disgrace.
Good job we aren't alienating ourselves from our neighbours then!I'd read recently that due to the age of our military equipment, low personnel numbers and the amount of military equipment we have, if Russia did invade this country we wouldn't be able to stop them without assistance from another country.

Discussion on the Asia Pacific tilt hereRead on another site that it’s something to do with a reduction in actual missiles on the subs but increasing the warheads on the missiles that remain so that they still have the same coverage.... or at least that’s how I read it but I’m no expert.
The pacific adventure for the QE is a freedom of navigation exercise to make it clear to China not to corner off the South China Sea. I think it has something to do with showing our allies in the area that we are committed to it still.... thus in turn means they lend there support to the carrier group by letting their destroyers and frigates sail with us and release our assets back to other tasks
for some reason the clip omits the punchline, which goes something like ...... Sir Humphrey explains ....
Not really a disgrace, Russia is absolutely massive and has a much greater population than us, they could outmuscle most. We had our time near the top of the military tree a long time ago, and we've been on our way down since.I'd read recently that due to the age of our military equipment, low personnel numbers and the amount of military equipment we have, if Russia did invade this country we wouldn't be able to stop them without assistance from another country.
That is a disgrace.
Or a invasion from Mars, neither of which are going to happen, though Mars is the more likely of the two.I'd read recently that due to the age of our military equipment, low personnel numbers and the amount of military equipment we have, if Russia did invade this country we wouldn't be able to stop them without assistance from another country.
That is a disgrace.

To be honest there aren't many countries in the world that could repel an attack from Russia. Probably none in Europe so its not that bad.
Having read about a Russian....yes Russian company fitting out Boris’s fancy new media room they’ll know what our response well be before the message reaches our armed forces anyway."I'd read recently that due to the age of our military equipment, low personnel numbers and the amount of military equipment we have, if Russia did invade this country we wouldn't be able to stop them without assistance from another country.

They have already invaded the country via social media and by greasing the right palms.
All without any deterrent whatsoever.
