Has Britain really still got this grit

[denso13]

Tell me the kit you are talking about?

Missiles, ammo, air defence systems, drones. Russia's air force have been almost non existent, Ukraine don't need 300 attack helicopters.

 

[Highway Man]

No

I thought you'd know that from your military experience

I do and why I can't be bothered with your sillyness.

Drones can be jammed very easily, we do it all of the time so only so far they have been effective in the Ukraine war. Missiles to strike where exactly? Air defence they now have

 

[denso13]

Missiles to strike where exactly?

Intercept their missiles and drones. Attack things like fuel and ammo stores.

Ok

Ok

So, don't laugh. But this is what I tried to get my head round before I switched off. NATO uses relatively small amounts of troops in what I think is called a combined arms strategy. This requires lots of tanks, planes, expensive missile systems, with relatively small numbers of highly trained ground troops, all acting together. But that requires a huge amount of training and co-ordination. Whereas the Russians have really turned this into more of a WWI style war of attrition using reinforced lines of defence. NATO could overcome this. But Ukraine can't, even if they were given all the weapons, because they don't know how to use them all effectively.

I bow to your superior knowledge then.

If only aircraft can shoot down aircraft then I wonder why there are so many SAM's

Drones can be very expensive to stop, ask the navy.

No need, I used to jam the frequencies but there you go, you will know best (Not)

I simply cannot be bothered with your obvious trolling, you never have any real input into the forum and always ruin a. thread. Here you go again.

Russia are using short range ones which are connected by wire, impossible to jam.

Try googling where the Russian ammo stores are and where they store their fuel, you never know that info might be there.

Doesnt matter, they wont be using those in a full scale war

You seem to be the only one advocating full scale war.
