@@emstirling-is4nu there is one factory in the UK that produces small arms ammunition and there was recently a fire there. CAPITA have been dreadful for the Army but it's not their fault there's a recruitment crisis. The Navy have a recruitment crisis and still do their own recruiting. Moreover, the Army has a retention problem which is nothing to do with CAPITA. It takes 6 months to train an infantry soldier, and that's not including the time taken in the application process etc. The UK is in no way ready for war and would take a long time to be in a fit state to do so.

Tks for explaining. I think Capita has to be dissolved...it is mainly on-line process and as far as I gather it takes up to a year after being accepted before the person is given a start date, so most cannot do without a wage so get a job and stay in it. There was also a lot of applicants who did get the medicals and were refused...one was for a condition which after he pursued by 3 specialists, that diagnosis was incorrect....another was refused because of a skin condition pre-puberty which was no longer there. The Navy & Air Forces have gotten better numbers lately so just the Army to get fixed. Was glad to see some of the new equipment - impressive - up-to-date . I just hope that things improve in the near future to make us ready for whatever comes our own way. tks to all who serve...very much appreciated.@@AK-us2di

I really don't understand this conversation all over the media. Yes, the RAF shot down some drones etc. that were on their way to Israel, simply to try and temper a wider Middle Eatern conflict, from a very great distance. Ukraine is a different ball game altogether. International air corridors are much narrower and proximity much greater, so leads to either 'mistakes', or the fog of War dragging NATO into a response which would be catastrophic. Yes, NATO needs to deal with Russian aggression, it's been far too long in doing this, but it needs to be planned and effective.
