Hedgehog Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 If they do go through with this idiocy, well, I guess I better start learning Russian or Chinese. If they get rid of our tanks, they may as well scrap the Nuclear Deterrent at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 To much being spent on aircraft carriers and F-35s I have to wonder why the UK invested so much on two new carriers and a submarine fleet. I release carriers have a prestige and project power. But at what cost. IMO, Carriers are really just very big very expensive high value targets. With a whole range of missiles designed to take them out at very long range the russian have a hypersonic missile with a range of 1000 miles That can be air launched from a SU-30. at ranges far beyond there detection by the carriers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
