  1. Giving away tanks and kit we can’t spare. Germany is a disgrace.

  2. The US is depleting it’s sticks of munitions at a terrifying rate. US stocks in Israel and South Korea have been raised to supply Ukraine. China knows this and is eyeing up Taiwan. The Secretary of the Navy tweeted 4 weeks ago that if we continued to blindly supply Ukraine we would be out of ammo in the Fleet by June… that was immediately taken down and memory-holed…

  3. Pro war anti peace propaganda.

  4. Stupid politicians buying European junk instead of cheap American kit that works.

  5. It’s an advert for the army or the fire brigade?

  6. Ha ha ha. Pathetic!

  7. Glenn Ridsdale he was in office from May 2005 for defense equipment and support. This video shows him bragging about him solving a problem yet he was part of it. He defended the use of the snatch Land Rover and only did to outside pressure changed government policy.

  8. No planes!!!!

  9.  @abrahamdozer6273  are you saying that the original order for 148 f35s was a mistake? That the new order for 74 is enough for two air wings? There are only 28 in the country. What percentage are operationally available from 28? 70%? Carriers in dry dock being refitted don’t need planes. These two carriers aren’t in dry dock they are “Operational” ;-) no planes but “Operational Aircraft carriers”

  10. 1300? ;-)
    2
  11. No planes. These things are a floating target and a reminder of how far our military has fallen.
    2
  12. British traitors training the Chinese pilots flying them.
    2
  13. We don’t! the Royal Artillery participated in the exercise without guns!
    2
  14. 8 f35s What a sad state of affairs.
    2
  15.  @admiralmallard7500  agreed. They are all f35bs anyway so designed for small carriers.
    2
  16. Sad but very true.
    2
  17. What they didn’t say is that this boat has been picking up migrants in the channel and helping bringing them to the UK.
    2
  18. Tungst it’s deliberately misleading. Drayson is on record in Hansard as stating the snatch was fit for purpose. This while they were being killed in it.
    2
  19. Exactly buying European that was twice the price, delayed and not as capable instead of cheaper, off the shelf American was always about politics not logic.
    2
  20.  @1chish  read Christopher Bookers articles on this and many other “Buy European” projects. Eye opening.
    2
  21. Ukraine isn’t going to get air superiority over Russia. Is this journalism?
    2
  22. 14 We gave away what we had and bought 14 to replace them. Pathetic
    2
  23.  @MrVenturadog  you are right Britain has never fought a war.
    2
  24. I though British Pilots/Traitors were too busy teaching Chinese pilots how to kill Americans.
    2
  25. Yes and actually have planes on them.
    2
  26.  @abrahamdozer6273  so do the Americans and Chinese only have one air wing per carrier? Of course they don’t. We don’t even have one full air wing! Slow walking the purchases and not buying enough of them is a joke. These are big shiny targets that cost a fortune. Please go ahead and defend a carrier without planes!
    2
  27. Carriers without planes, early warning or escort ships. Impressive.
    2
  28. 4?
    2
  29. An aircraft carrier without planes is like a Lamborghini without an engine.
    2
  30. Sad day indeed.
    2
  31. I’m surprised they still have horses! I thought they had been sent to Ukraine with everything else.
    2
  32. Really? Europe has been reliant on the American taxpayer for 75 years.
    2
  33. @SuperVHSchannel our border isn’t secure! We are paying billions to defend their border. Money we have to borrow. I’d be ok with borrowing money to defend our borders.
    2
  34. Peace deal now.
    2
  35. @cjjk9142you are wrong. Both ships were supposed to have a full complement of planes and escort ships. The cuts happened and it was too late to cancel the PoWs
    2
  36. @cjjk9142 it’s a huge waste of taxpayer money and an embarrassment.
    2
  37. And half an air wing
    2
  38.  @davidhouseman4328  don’t trust politicians to hold on to it that long. They got rid of our last carrier early and gave away our newly modernized harriers for free without any replacements on the horizon.
    2
  39. More fancy stuff we are giving away.
    2
  40. Stupid decisions made by government years ago. Ski jumps make sense for small carriers not big ones.
    2
  41. New fancy kit is great. Not enough soldiers, tanks, ammo etc. is the problem. As one general put it the shop front is full but there’s nothing in the shop.
    2
  42. Lovely target though ;-)
    2
  43.  @luciussander8217  it should have at least 36 f35s There are only 28 in country for BOTH carriers! so only a proportion of those will be available. No early warning. Not enough escort ships. It’s s big fat target.
    2
  44. Odd the “Journalist” forgot that
    2
  45.  @annoyed707  Ukraine is currently using its feared lgcbtqfckhgtb division to destroy Russian battle groups now. Diversity is strength.
    2
  46. Ben Wallace is a minister. He has collective responsibility for cabinet decisions. If he really felt so strongly then he would have resigned years ago.
    2
  47. China is the threat not Russia. The 50 British fighter pilots that helped train the Chinese pilots would agree.
    2
  48. Importing Afghanistan and it’s problems to Britain is insane.
    2
  49. 5 What a joke
    2
  50. Ever shrinking.
