There is limited capability if a Type 45 destroyer happens to be in port and crewed, but even that is currently only able to intercept short range ballistic missiles. The UK possesses nothing with the capability of the Israeli Arrow 2/3, SM3, Patriot PAC3 or THAAD.

All major western countries should have layered air defence for critical infrastructure. Iron Done is one of Israel’s three layers. Ground to air defence is the cheapest sustainable system. Air to air defence is very expensive- requiring the air craft fleet and is dependent on expensive missiles. Layered defence can use a combination of laser, missiles and guns (CWIS). No country except Israel has adapted to life in the missile age.

There is a huge problem with British procurement. Ajax APC was a good system in use in other countries but the MOD wanted changes. For minimal gains we had massive cost increase a lack of compatibility and a suspension system that made troops sick. Astute and Dreadnaught submarine costs have skyrocketed as MoD change specs. We have aircraft carriers with no planes and both RAF and Navy had to go for the short range less capable version of the F35 because MoD wanted to save money on catapult. And we don’t have the ships to defend them. It’s a FUBAHR caused by our own systems which need an urgent overhaul.

To your headline - When exactly? This year, next year, sometime, never?

We have land-based Sky Sabre but NATO air defences could stop a lot of missiles and drones over Europe before they even reached the UK. The prospect of the Russian navy firing on us from the Atlantic is pretty remote.

it's all very well but who is going to make this stuff we don't make stuff here in the uk it takes years to train engineers who can make this stuff we just stack things up in shops and sell it and most of it comes from else where not the uk

Goods coming into the block were checked; beef entering Poland on its way to Britain was checked at the Polish border and wine entering Britain on its way to Italy was checked at the British border. Internal produce for internal markets was not checked because it had to be produced to high EU standards. Occasionally this failed eg the horse meat scandal, but for the most part it was safe because of the high standards. When Britain left the single market and became a third country, we lost all of these protections. Beef entering Poland for Britain is not checked and could be contaminated. We should be checking this stuff at our borders, just like Japan checks imports or America or any other country. But we’re not. We are wide open. This is great for EU exporters to Britain as it means no delays of costs and the Tories rely on this to fool the public into thinking everything is fine, and because carrying out checks would disrupt food supplies. It is terrible for British exporters who must process paperwork and costs to export into the block. Because France, Holland etc actually built processing centres for British goods in 2017, when May smugly triggered Article 50 despite having no clue what form Brexit would take, and when some Tories were still claiming we would remain in the single market. It’s also bad for British farmers and fishermen, who not only lost EU subsidies, they must continue to produce to EU standards despite no longer having any say in those standards. Do you get it now?

I have to disagree on the Australia part of this equation. Australia is raising defense spending to 2.4% of GDP, is investing 5 billion dollars into Rolls Royce nuclear propulsion facility in the UK. They have committed to building 17 frigates, with some to be built overseas for delivery this decade, the rest built in Australia. Ultimately it will be building 8 to 12 nuclear powered submarines of the same type that the UK will be building. Rather than pulling back from Australia, the government needs to be making certain that 11 of those newly announced frigates are Type 31 frigates, with obvious benefits for British industry. Australia is already building Type 26 frigates. And in the long run, Australia will provide the economies of scale Britain so desperately needs for the AUKUS submarine project. It is very much a two way street with the Australians developing the Ghostshark drone submarine, which may become useful for the RAN, plus, with the Americans, developing a new class of drone missile ships. The refocus on Australia and the Indo/Pacific in recent years has been part of a resurgence of British naval manufacturing long term. Building missile defenses and North Atlantic defenses are essential, but get that defense spending increasing. 3% does not sound all that high, encourage Australia to also increase spending to 3% and build ships and missiles in both countries. We are all stronger by working cooperatively, and besides historic ties, Australia is an ally that is getting very serious about defense spending - it is a good country to have a very close defense relationship with.

The main problem with our defence expenditure is politicians using it for job creation. We spent £3.4 billion trying to develop our own maritime patrol aircraft before abandoning it and buying the American version that was available in the first place

However going by what Cameron and Macron has been threatening recently with their reckless suggestions for Ukraine the this situation could change quickly ,and rightly so.

What part of any escalated war sees us needing a weapons defence system for conventional weapon attacks? Who could reach us? What circumstances would see them use conventional weapons over a prolonged period? How would one of the most densely populated countries in Europe be able to shoot down missiles safely without killing significant numbers in the process? If the missiles are coming from the east geographically id guess they will be travelling over many of our EU allies.... What will they have to say about missiles in their airspace? The absolute last thing we need to worry about is conventional missile attacks. If we have upped our involvement in either conflict to the extent that we are engaged in fully fledged war the weapons used will clearly wipe ourselves and the aggressor out instantly. I would expect the UK to use the most lethal response available if any nation dared to attack.

There is a huge difference between European allies. There are state-of-the-art systems during construction and deployment like Polish multiple layer defence structure and the countries with almost no plan and no money alocated in it, like the UK. The iron dome is simly the lowest layer of defence, created mostly against the cheapest flying devices. There is no point in coordinating of such a project within Europe and it is so difficult that almost impossible, taking into consideration specifics of the countries in a possible conflict. However, a kind of European cooperation in the highest layer of anti-ballistic defence (an equivalent of Israel’s Arrow 2, Arrow 3 and similar American systems) is a good idea. That is why the countries like Poland, France or Italy which are much more advanced in building the system could also join the initiative. Anyway… it is a very vague idea now and it will not deliver earlier than in next ten yeras. Please, don’t use the terms like ‘the iron dome’ misleadingly. Even if this discussion is interesting, there is a lot of ignorance in it.

David Murrin covered this ages ago in a report that allegedly reached Boris Johnson when he was in No.10. The answer is a first line of defence comprising naval destroyers with anti-missile weaponry stationed up and down the coast and a second line comprising iron dome type systems critical infrastructure points. Not London though. London doesn’t need an iron dome system - there’s nothing worth defending there. Better to defend Whitby in Yorkshire as it’s got the ‘early warning’ Fillingdales base and the lucrative Woodsmith mines close by. And this argument about accepting a smaller role in the world is nonsensical. Investing in a navy pays for itself by boosting trade and securing trade routes.

100% accurate. Now we need 2 democrat parties to go with the 2 GoP parties.

Please stop saying only republicans get mad about the border. We all do check any polls. I just don’t agree with things like pushing people back into the rio grande .

The GOP is behind in every poll. Even in the red states their polling is at the lowest percentage points this century. MAGA has destroyed the Republican party like a cancer eating it away from the inside.

Exactly. I've just looked at several major news websites, but there is no evidence whatsoever that Ukraine is getting any US aid. The deadlock has not been broken, and so far, there is no congressional consensus to vote through the US$ 60 billion military aid package that Ukraine so desperately needs. This is just plain fabrication. I expect more from the Times.

Give up the Falklands?

You guys have a missile defense system called Sky Sabre, and it's highly accurate. I can't believe the amount of information you are putting out about your own country. My only thought is you are trying to drum up support for more military spending. You say your money isn't being used effective? All you did was point to numbers. You guys go the route of less but more technologically advanced (also why you need less soldiers btw). Look at the tanks given to Ukraine. The Challenger 2 is by far the best over the Leopard 2 and M1A1 Abrams. This is one of the worst segments I've seen by Times Radio.

Errr the UK doesn't have an anti ballistic missile system, hence the point in the interview about the RAF would have to scramble, there is no low flying cruise missile that could fly all the way from Russia to the UK, it would have to be a ballistic missile. No idea what you are going on about tanks for I mean surely that proves that superior tech is no good in tiny numbers?!

@@Mybigfinger_69 but that was the whole point of the interview the idea of defending from the hypothetical "Russia firing missiles at London" scenario which would be ballistic by nature of the distance, sky sabre etc is built for protecting army units and naval ships out on the battlefield instead. They didn't say the UK had no anti missile or anti air capability.

I think Johnson will bring three individual bills to the floor and then just not bring the Ukraine part to the floor at all. This whole thing is designed by Trump and Johnson to delay and prevent any aid to Ukraine at all.

It doesn't work like that. The President via the house democrats is putting forward the bills and he says they'll be a 4 in 1 package. 1. Ukraine aid package 2. Israel aid package 3. Taiwan aid package 4. US military investment package.

A “dome” is a defensive maneuver to avoid Russia bombing a killing civilians in Ukraine as opposed to being an offensive weapon. That’s a good thing that will save lives. That money will be spent in the US and employ Americans who will manufacture and assemble the system. It’s good public policy and a humanitarian effort.

I really think you, Brits should not comment on the speculative aspects of our politics. You do not understand them. This is a bill to send support to everyone but Ukraine. He will not bring that to a vote but with this bill he will get enough Republican split that there is no chance for a discharge petition on the good lend lease act bill. That we all really want.
