My only dispute with this gent is that we can ramp up defence AND act responsibly toward the environment, as both pursuits stimulate the economy.

It’s depressing hearing an ex- army officer talking about effective combined operations whilst knocking the other two services. By implication saying that the RN and RAF have sufficient equipment and personnel, which is clearly nonsense. The entire Defence budget is insufficient given the current threat. All three armed forces are under equipped and undermanned and we are not well served by armchair ex-warriors trying to stir up inter-service rivalry.

British Army officers are not immune from tunnel vision. If their senior officers think they are going to mastermind ops in the next conventional war they are sadly mistaken as their only large force experience is on PowerPoint and whiteboards. 70,000 troops actually means at best 15,000 combat troops barely equal to the manpower of 1 US division but having barely the tank and artillery units of one third of one US armored brigade.

Hamish is very insightful and I agree with everything he's saying. The West needs to wake up.

An exhibition of captured military hardware from NATO countries that kicked off in front of the Victory Museum at Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow features 32 units of various armored equipment. "The exhibition presents various examples of seized military equipment which were captured by Russian servicemen in the special military operation zone. In all, there are 32 items," Andrey Lyubchikov, senior researcher with Russia’s Central Armed Forces Museum, said. For instance, the exhibition features a German-made Leopard 2 tank, an American Abrams, a Bradley fighting vehicle, М113 and MaxxPro, a Turkish-made BMC Kirpi, a UK-made Mastiff, a CV90 combat vehicle from Sweden, as well as many others captured by the Russian servicemen during the special military operation. The exhibition also displays firearms, documents, maps, gear and drones.

One key balance act overlooked is the conquering country absorbs all the resources of the dominated country and used to take the fight forward. The battlefront struggle seem balanced currently but should Ukraine yield, all Ukraine resources (arms and men) will be absorbed and used against neighbouring countries. They did that in the Donbas oblast forcing the remaining population to fight against Ukraine. Russian fighting power can snowball from strength to strength. By the time it reaches France and England, it is not just Russians tanks and men, It will be ALL of Europe's tanks and men vs UK.
