This, I can believe. I bet if we followed Ukraine's lead and invested in what works in a drone war and drop what doesn't , we won't even need to increase spending.
How many boondoggles are currently on the books, stuff we won't need yet we're paying for?
What schemes has the Grifting class been running these past two decades?

That fucking tank, which is more drone bait. And the personnel carrier which makes passengers ill somehow, and is also drone bait.

We could defend our nation and not have to cut from other budgets by dropping some boondoggles that won't work in the real world.

A British refueler has gone airborne from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus.

So freaking UK is now participating in the protection of the genicidal regime of Israel?

#UKPol #israel #iran #UKmilitary #lebanon

looking more like 2027-2028....not that we'd be prepared for any of it.

Also, we're not under the impression still that the USA would be on our side are we? Because that's shockingly Naïve...

It would be nice if Russia left Europe alone, like it would be nice that the USA left Latin America alone, but that's not going to happen with colonial powers, is it?

Yeah, I don't think Ukraine needs our Military's help tbh, it's looking as useless as the Yank's right now...
...just grifting as far as the eye can see.

The government really need to listen to Lord Robertson. He knows what he's talking about, and the world is no longer a safe place. We need to be prepared for the world that we actually live in, not the world that we'd like it to be.

A report by MEE revealed that a British surveillance drone flew over Lebanese airspace for hours before, during, and after a large scale Israeli attack that killed more than 300 civilians.

According to the report, the drone, identified as a Protector RG1 MQ 9B, took off from the British base in Akrotiri in #Cyprus on the morning of the attack and remained over areas in Lebanon, including the surroundings of Baalbek, as the airstrikes were carried out.

The drone is believed to have conducted direct surveillance during the attack or provided intelligence support. This pattern of flights is not new, as similar British aerial activity has previously been recorded over the #Gaza Strip during the #genocide.
