Now sll the kids are Sharpshooters, learnt playing War games on their PS4's , you've got enough to start it in 6months never mind 3 years! We need to build up our Armaments after giving ours to Ukraine. Sor Europe, protect our own shores for start. Get the Army practising on the beaches down South stopping the illegal immigrants coming over in their boats after all, that war has been going on for years and we LOST that one big time, still are!! Sort that out first then Conscription. Every 18 year old to do 3 years. They'd learn respect thats for sure!
I served for twelve years in thos twelve years my unit both of them was never fully upto streangth in manpower .my work was very physical whitch after two weeks in the field lead to physical lost of streangth and stamina . Most times the equipment I worked on was varsity understreangth from six men where there should of been thirteen . Our resuply was a joke for each piece of Ordinance we should have five vehicals which needed a manpower of two to three . Because we never had that we could not practess real time resupply. Lets put it plainly with a detachment of seven on Lionehart one there was a time when the equipment was maned by two men the others haveing to work on other jobs such as NBC sentry position sentry QRF and manual adjusting ammunition from one pice of equipment to another , sounds simple but you can not go from Ato B in a straight line to six points carrying heavey load pluss your owen personal equipment . The sub unit is supposed to have four hundred men we never had more than one hundred and sixty
My cousins and brother would agree with you, they were on the last Lionheart and some other FTX's and operations later. One was a REME Staff Sergeant very physical and dangerous work in all weathers. I understand you very well too. Thanks for your service to the UK.
@@railworker8058 I assume you mean lack of correct spelling ability, a skill an awful lot of people in the UK including professionals seem to have acquired. A sad reflection on the paucity of good educational standards in our schools.
70,000 "A medium sized army". So double it would assume a large sized army. Yet russia has placed over 600,000 in Ukraine so far with very many more available. 🤔 Medium sized i would argue it's hardly a tiny sized army.
India's Territorial Army is more than twice bigger than that lol. Forget the myriad of paramilitary forces, Border Security Forces and various other Internal Security Forces all of whom are individually also bigger than that, some by upto four times larger. So by their definition, India has 2-3 large Armies and 3-4 Medium Armies. And then there is the Regular Army which is literally the world's largest. Frankly, this is all hogwash. There is nothing known as a "medium Army", something smaller than at least two Corps doesn't even qualify as an Army. Half of Pakistan seems to migrating into UK, yet UK can't seem to find enough men for its Army.
300,000+ full time standing army is what is needed, and a sufficient reserve force/TA in like manner to support or rapidly inflate numbers as required. First things first though - this stupid gov and educational establishments are doubling down on alienating all the working class and farming lads. I dont have to say it, its everywhere, and we all know whats really going on. But trust me, if you think these lads are going to turn up even if this stupid gov introduces national service, then I've got some magic beans you can buy(!) The leadership of the UK has been a major problem for the last 25-30 years now and we're all seeing the repercussions. This continual cycle of broken checks and balances and broken governance will never give us a standing army that is fot for purpose and one that actually cares about protecting Britain, our culture, our identity, our communities, our values and our interests/security at home and abroad.
Looking at Finlands strategic. We are in dia need of specifically mobile auto missile launchers. Mobile auto artillery. And drone defence. And meny sniper’s. Including 300 magnum dmr’s as well as 338 dmr. Avon masks Or Mira masks. I do like the new Ajax I might of misspelled that never mind. This new rail gun produced by Japan is it legit? Or just an AI fake?
England / Uk defence spending should be at 3%!
there are vastly more important things to spend £30 Billion on.
5%

All the old favourites - from kids these days. to "illegals" to all the weapons have gone! to conscription.
What a shame.
Primed ready if called upon ...3 years...get it sorted
Why dont we just concentrate of defence of the country and stop trying to get involved in other peoples conflicts.

Spend on defence....only deterrence..we got..
Listening to kate i forgot this was'nt times radio for a second
Need army numbers back to 155,000 many more infantry regiments
I recon we need more diversity… that will defo square us off.
Diversity is a weak link in a chain. that can break and sink the whole ship.
I’m not having that at all… it’s makes everything way better!
Expect my brotherto go to war in old rust bucket Landrover FFR which always needs a push start 😂.
what is going on with the constant talk of war on this channel? war with whom?
We won't be ready in ten years never mind three
British army is the best in the world
Why is the sound so very bad?
Head of army predicts war ie I want more money maybe we need to spend less on pomp and ceremony . For a start
Great! 3 years to live!
C'mon labour/green voters! 🤣
Whoooooo! I hope they will be ready 😁 should have voted reform.. sorry I'm not lgbtq enough for war
🤔
