UK military couldn´t fight Russia for longer than two months

[Bleipriester]

After two months of war against Russia, His Majesty´s Armed Forces would be depleted and it would be over for them.

Lt Gen Sir Rob Magowan, the Deputy Chief of Defence staff, made a statement according to which the UK could not fight Russia for more then two months. His main reason is a lack of ammunition.
Although Defence Secretary Grant Shapps failed to wheedle more money out of Sunak (Sunak is overwhelmed by The Great Stink), he is playing down the issue and says that the UK would only fight Russia in the framework of the Nato. This is a very foolish assessment because you can have dozens of allies that have ammo for two months and they would be still out of ammo after two months. And Biden has ruled out sending troops, stressing countries going to fight Russia are on their own.

But it is not only the ammunition. It is also about the military´s capabilities and a recruitment crisis, MPs were told already in February.

We shouldn't even consider the question. Nato nations would immediately join in with support for Britain.

That's the inconvenient fact about this war. It can only lead to nuclear.

Russia will not be defeated while it sits on the world's biggest nuclear arsenal. It's time that fact is considered!

But today, even the bridge incident is being avoided like the black plague! That tells us quite a bit about members on this board preferring to not discuss any of the finer points on the two wars.

i would have thought the same of ukraine 2 years ago.

seems this is not the red army that defended stalingrad and sacked berlin. this is the red army that ran from afghanistan.

off topic, but does comparison with other historic defeats in afghanistan make mr biden look better in perspective?

While others are saying that the Russian army is the most powerful and effective army in the world.

Ukraine is sending soldiers without anything but their rifle. No air support, no artillery support, often poorly trained for a couple of days. They are sending them into the Stalingrad like artillery rain, creating huge losses nobody in the West wants to hear about. Yeah, it is indeed similar to Stalingrad. Poor creatures equipped with a handful of bullets holed up somewhere, facing a full storm of bombs, shells, grenades and missiles.

Kiev: Nato demands more Ukrainians to be burned at the front lines

Nato war monger Bauer said in Kiev every Ukrainian, even the young and the elderly, must serve at the front lines. He also claims, drafting people and forcing them into the fire of a way superior enemy is convincing them to go voluntarily. "War affects everyone, whether you like it or not. It's...

interesting question

 

[rampart]

While others are saying that the Russian army is the most powerful and effective army in the world.

will they prove it with a may day parade this year in kiev?

may be that the army is great, as "others are saying." people were saying that custer's seventh cavalry was a pretty crack outfit as well.

. "show me." crazy horse

 

[ESay]

Of course they couldn't. For this reason NATO exists.

The UK would need no more than ten days if fighting Russia.
