I'm starting to think that the UK's "special relationship" with the US is domestic violence

@PatientlyWaiting25 You've got enough nukes to obliterate at least the capitals of all four multiple times, the risk of that actually happening is practically null.

@Elessar Let's hope so but that's not what the experts are saying. We are under prepared.

@PatientlyWaiting25 No its yrue, the state of the UK defence force is pretty crappy for all the territtory the nation has to defend. I really do think a 2nd Falklands is beyond the UK's ability to singularly defend against.

However it can be fixed with a smarter retooling of the purchasing that's done. A lot of it is being subjected to mission creep that doesn't solve the problems the platforms are truly meant for(if we talk about the RN)
