  3. They're free to side with Ukraine if they wish, as they fall under the editorial control of the MOD, so already have political approval. Not that they need approval, given the UKs high press freedom index score.

  10. They did have some utility, same as the slat armour used by the US and UK in Afghanistan. They cause shaped charges to detonate prematurely, making the plasma spike much less effective
