  2. We have far too many soldiers in the army. We only need the Guards for the palace, the chaps on horses and just think of the money we can save.

  10. when the UN began operations. The organization's objectives, as defined by its charter, include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; as of 2023, it has 193 – almost all of the world's sovereign states.

  15.  @NPI-iz7bg  NATO said the alliance’s integrated air and missile defense had tracked the object’s flight path. But the Croatian prime minister said the country’s authorities were not informed and that NATO reacted only after question were posed by journalists. Chocolate fire guard is really good so long as you don't light the fire.

  18. Drones are the future ...Swarms of drones all flown by teenagers from a basement in Utah. If you remove the weakest part of the aircraft (The Pilot) the aircraft can pull over 20G and fight better. The AC can also stay airborne a lot longer and defend itself better. Teams of people can fly endless sorties in a war zone and still go home to the wife at the end of the shift unwinding by the pool with a large G and T. Quote from the RAF "We will enhance the new military flying training system with further investment in synthetic (Flight Simulator) training that will deliver more capable pilots more quickly and more efficiently.”

  19. Personally I would have gone for the T7A Red Hawk, but I guess you can't afford it.

  20. Looks like a 737.

  21.  @iamjames8200  737 was out in about 1970, could have fitted it with all the gear from the comet..sorry NIMROD...or the 707 sorry E-3 sentry. But oh no lets spew money away on the comet since it was left behind by Boing all those years ago.

  22.  @henryvagincourt4502  The point I was making was to save money and buy off the US in the first place. The RAF like the globemaster for example and the Herc, They don't really want the A400.

  23.  @henryvagincourt4502  How did you get to Ascension from the Falklands? I would be happy to throttle back but not shut down. they may not start again and the Queen was paying the fuel bill anyway. "Crabs?" You could always tell the matlos in civvies because they walk round holding hands.

  28.  @pepperroni6252  Trevor Coult MC reckons the L85 is better than the M4 variants and he has shot people dead. So since I have not fired either I take his word for it!

  29.  @danielbailey5849  We don't have the money to train our own pilots.

  30. But strapped to an SA80!

  31.  @jb76489  You are such a Philistine, how can you blaspheme about such an amazing ground attack weapon. I put it to you that the British can't afford them like they could not afford the Thompson sub machine gun so they got triang toy company to make sten guns out of bicycle pumps.

  32.  @iamjames8200  No they have updated them and are keeping them incase the British declare war on the US.

  33. Giving guns to Zelenskyys gangsters and criminals.

  35. Too expensive to use and we only have 2.

  36. Why don't the Royal Navy give away a load of Ships and some subs and unlimited ammo missiles and fuel to Ukraine so that they can attack Sevastapol
