@JonA2i It's perfectly reasonable to belive that the UK could strive to set it's self out as Europe's premier Navy. We have need of a strong Navy more than any other European nation. It's no more ambitious than the RAF believing it can afford a nuclear branch and a full 5/6G force.
@JonA2i @GenGJenkinsRM And land based air power was only able to do the job effectivly in conjuction with martime assets. It's a full force effort.
Seeing as airbases under attack are now in the news, here’s a thread about how we used to defend them in the Cold War, when an attack was just 15 minutes away and we expected the Warsaw Pact to throw everything they had at us. 🧵1/12
The UK needs UK-based IAMD and Ground-Based Air Defence (GBAD). The idea that the Home Base is somehow "safe" is sadly utterly laughable - it isn't. T45 and Typhoon can only do so much, and in many reasonable scenarios, would only appear after an attack had caused untold damage
@gregbagwell @MerelyDarren Apart from the fact that ASW is a combined arms operation that requires the protection of many airborne assets (Merlin, P8 & drones) the F35 absolutely has a roll to play in ASW to provide DCA. Land based air power can't protect the carrier and her assets.
@Doha104p3 @Jack_Seaward Is it a political or technical reason that the sidekick won't be integrated onto the F35B.

@BriW74 @pinstripedline Spend billions on drones to downgrade current capabilities. Drones aren't a magical problem solver.
@thinkdefence It's not a kids birthday cake. Splitting it evenly amongst the 3 services is lazy, weak and is void of any strategic intellect. The RAF and RN should be getting most of the budget to ensure we can protect Europe on the Northern flank.
@nicholadrummond IF the money was somehow acquired. The A is the last thing the RAF need, what we need is to invest in UK aerospace to ensure GCAP has a steady foundation. Typhoon T4 or the EW version would be more than capable at standing up to our adversaries. The F35A is a fools error.

Telegraph article pitch: Boomers have worked hard and paid in all their life. They should they now freeload off other people's wi-fi in retirement.
Two types of future Which way do we go?
NEW: France is getting ready to arm Armenia, according to French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu who spoke to Franceinfo. “We have opened a defense mission in a country that did not exist until today and which will allow daily contact with the Armenian army and authorities to study their defense and security needs,” he said. “In any case, we are considering requests coming from Armenia so that they can defend themselves.”
Both of these pictures show new waterside developments in Leicestershire. One development is lauded by architects as being foreword thinking, equitable and intellectually beautiful. The other one is popular with normal people. Three guesses as to which is which lol.
MYTH: Cut back on your Netflix subscription to save for a house deposit. REALITY: Recent average deposits for first time buyers in London have been as much as £150k. My generation must stop indulging the fantasy that the majority of young people can save their way to a deposit.
@UnimportantO This is what a modern deployable UK division ought to look like. Two brigades plus a full set of enablers. It requires 16K personnel. An army of 72.5K should be able to generate two such formations and still have 40K soldiers for other tasks.
