Has Britain really still got this grit

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

yep and so are you

No, beef up their defence, no need to go invading Russia.

It is an interesting question as to how much these new tactics developed in Ukraine will be applicable to other conflicts. A lot of it seems to be Heath Robinson stuff.

It is and mixed with modern javelins etc, a good test ground tbh.

Ukraine are putting up a good fight, they have the grit needed but unfortunately cannot back it up with the equipment needed.

No, beef up their defence, no need to go invading Russia.

But you were just saying give them missiles to blow up ammo dumps and fuel stores and drones with long extension leads on?

 

[denso13]

Yes, but as a defensive tactic to slow Russia down. Nothing more.

So let me get this straight in my own head, you think arm Ukraine with defensive equipment rather than attack equipment, yet carmanmemeranda is saying give them planes with missiles and train their pilots for 3 or 4 years. This pressumably is to simply fly around in their own airspace with? Is there any wonder why I am confused. Nearly forgot the drones with the long extension leads that defeats the object of a drone? You will no doubt mean fibre optic rather than an extension lead. Lots of problems with that.

All this talk makes you wonder how Israel can fight a war on three fronts and simultaneously carry out a 100+ precision airstrike against another enemy over 1000 miles away.

It really beggers belief

Our training is the best but takes a lot of flying hours after to get a pilot into a dog fight

No such thing as air dog fights with air forces

Make yer mind up

Because it’s helped by USA and other Western countries

I doubt very much that Britain still has got this true grit and to sustain us through another long war. Too many woke views and ideals which wasn't even a thing back in those days. Judging by the type of responses you get on this site for example. Not a bloody chance. Thoughts on this?

The far right Trumpf supporters won’t have to find out what they’re made of, they’ve given into Pootin already. But to answer your question aircraft gunners won’t be needed in a future war, it will be dominated by drones. Plenty of keyboard warriors ready to volunteer I suspect

 

[Highway Man]

I don’t think you have any military experience

No problem with that. Why does that affect me?

was in reply to another poster not you, you obviously didnt read the full thing.
