A future which according to the MOD readiness document of 1997 requires at least 2 years to prepare an emergency response to an external threat. Four years if you want a full response. Lets hope the Russians tell us four years in advance. Oh and don't tell the general population they are nearly all going to die. Otherwise they won't help you. Its farcical.
All i am reading is Britain couldn't defend itself against Russia but before Britain started given aid to Ukraine there stopped Russia in there tracks with sticks and stones
$10K is a small price to pay to save a soldiers life. The biggest cost by far is the soldiers themselves. Hiring rookies is cheap enough, but the cost of an experienced soldier is the lifetime sum of all their pay, all their training, food, equipment, lodgings, travel etc. A soldier with 10+ years experience is a million dollar asset (or more).
Toys for posh boys. Pity we don't have an army. The definition of an army by numbers is a group of 3 corps, with each Corp being made up of 3 divisions, so an army by size should be between 90,000 to 150,000 personnel.
@johnbobson1557 With that opinion, you'll be getting slaughtered just like the Russians. The side that can best leverage these types of technologies and defend against them has the advantage of inflicting casualties in a Near Peer war.

Question: the image I have in my head of our army is one that barely can field what it has been using the last twenty years let alone adopting the "newest", most technologically advanced stuff. Like the civil service I see it as using barely running systems overstretched and behind the private sector. IS THAT TRUE? Or does it have capability beyond what I can imagine. Ya know, "modern warfare" tools etc?
Maintaining old equipment is hard. Buying new equipment solves that problem. Yes, the military is behind the private sector, because all their equipment comes from the private sector. The private sector develops the kit and then the military decides if they want to buy it. There will always be a delay between those such that the cutting edge prototypes are 2-5 years ahead of the finished products on sale, and then probably another 2-5 years before the military buys, takes delivery, trains soldiers on the new equipment, and then deploys it.
Ukraine. Kamikaze drones, the transparent battlefield, electronic warfare, death, chaos, trench warfare and more death. Plus lets not forget, PGMs by the shed load, which means more death, chaos and destruction. Everyone in this presentation is so clean, so professional, the reality is dirt, filth and squalid death on a battlefield where the rats are the only thing that thrives. Ukraine today.
High Tech Military Gear is great and of course the future, but what happens when this Smart Kits, does not work for some reason? Soldiers and Marines, still need to be able to do it old school as it were, with a Assault Rifle and Bayonet plus some British Guts behind them too! whether it is fighting in a built up area in cities and towns and clearing rooms one by one, or its back to First World War Trench Warfare in mainland Europe? or its Jungle Warfare in the Africa or South America and/or in Asia and the Far East, to Arctic and Mountain Warfare in either Northern Europe, Canada and Alaska or at the North and South Poles, let alone across the Himalayas too? Or Amphibious Warfare, Island hopping in the South and North Pacifica Oceans and across the South China Seas or in the Indian Oceans, or large scale Armoured Vehicle Warfare in the Deserts of North Africa and across the Middle East too. Or lastly carrying out Anti-Terrorism Warfare, or Airborne Assault Missions, plus Special Forces "Black Bag" Operations, anywhere in the World at any time and with little notice too. Military Smart Technology will only get you so far, sooner or later you need human boots and minds on the ground in the middle of battle, who are willing to fight and more importantly able to make human decisions whether to fight or not fight, or whether to withdraw or advance, or just take a different approach to a conflict, even holding talks with your enemy forces leaders too. AI systems will never replace a Soldier or Marines, or Special Forces operator and/or even a Para Human Mind, in the decision making process, especially when your so called Smart Military Technology breakdowns, or does not like the weather, heat or cold conditions, or just stops working, or the enemy is jamming your High Tech Systems too.

We can wheel out a few fat burds blowing a trumpet for the King in red coats and get misty eyed over past glories but us Brits sneaking away from Basra at night is just about the best we can manage these days. Militarily we are next to useless.
In Afghanistan and Vietnam, the enemy knew their terrain and environment and used it very effectively. They were also hardened by the immensely tough lives they led in said environment. They were also fighting for their homeland in the face of invading forces, sometimes even hiding behind the women and children, knowing the majority of their invaders wouldn't want to open fire on them.
@@A-raving-lunatic Partly true but the puppet government in Kabul plus a significant sector of the Afghan population, who also knew the lay of the land, were supporting the Allied Coalition. Moreover Pakistan is host to an enormous population of Afghans fleeing the nation, as indeed now the Western nations are burdened with. Similarly Vietnam, which was a civil war with the corrupt President Diem and Thieu supported by the US & it's allies. The RVNAF were similarly fighting for their homeland against the NVA and indeed, though the VC hid behind women and children the US were never hesitant to open fire. Mai Lai being a good example. This led to most of the new recruits to the NVA being from the south! No matter how you look at it the soldiers of the Taliban and North Vietnam outclassed us by miles, despite our technical 'superiority'. This holds true today and watching the British Army sneak away from Basra in the night and the coalition fiasco as the Allies ran away is us, despite our bluster, today.
Maybe instead of spending billions on tech and the governments own pocket and increase military pay/accommodation there would be more people signing up🤷🏽 truth is no one's willing to risk dying for 1800 a month 😂😂🤦🏽
Not all drones are the same, and no they are not 75 million. The Ukrainians were using cheap drones to drop grenades into open Russian tank hatches, but the drones the Russians are using to destroy western tanks are much more expensive than that.
Research & testing, good. But the implied tactical benefits, less clear. Every scripted utterance has an unspoken caveat or counterpoint. Often painfully obvious from the visuals. Ststic, clunky slow-moving hardware. Complex tech, fragile tech... Cognitive overload thst is barely sustainable in training let alone a warzone. Degraded mobility carrying yet more pounds of hardware. Maintenance of the gadget. Set up times. Reliability! The real crucible (Ukraine) is right now, real time, life & death. Ultimately if nobody is willing to pay for the 10x costs (for dubious benefits), pointless.
This is worrying if this is the direction the British Army wishes to take for the future. Combat in Ukraine has shown us that everything gets blown up or severely damaged within a couple of weeks or less. All this fancy, super delicate, high maintenance tech will be out of comission very quickly in heavy combat. The comms tech and battery charging in field for drones was great (though I don't like us being so open with what our future communications tech is for infantry in the field) given how effective and advantageous drones are for recon and combat roles. I feel like those large Rheinmetal UCVs would be a very expensive waste for something that would be destroyed/disabled on the frontline quite quickly, they could be used in a support/logistics role ferrying munitions or medical and food supplies with troops having more loiter munitions or fixed position electronically controlled weapons systems for fire support whilst assaulting.

Modern warfare seems to dictate that speed, agility, stealth and autonomy are the prime advantages to have.
