Media: UK plans to reduce the army by 14 thousand people

The command of the Armed Forces of Great Britain has developed plans to reduce the size of the army by more than 14 thousand people. This was reported on Friday by the British newspaper The Times.

According to the publication, it is planned, in particular, to combine units of airborne troops and royal marines in order to save money. In the next decade, the military budget of the United Kingdom is expected to be reduced by 20 billion pounds ($ 27 billion). Three versions of such proposals were presented to Secretary of Defense Gavin Williamson when he replaced Sir Michael Fallon in this post in November. They suggest a reduction of 11 thousand troops, 2 thousand marines and 1250 representatives of the Air Force.

According to official data, the number of British army is now almost 83 thousand troops, compared with 112 thousand in 2003 year. The planned reduction will make the British army the smallest in the last 200 years, the newspaper said

Williamson, according to the publication, "was horrified" from the options proposed for selection.

He does not consider this acceptable. This will put the armed forces in a difficult position in the light of the level of international threat.

I would love to look at you in the first month of service. Vidocq would not be better, or perhaps worse.

From conscripts what could be the demand? So the soldier wanted to warm up the food and burned the BTR-82A for 28 million rubles. The court did not begin to recover pecuniary damage from the private, having appointed him six months of a disciplinary military unit.

That's how many did not review this video could not understand everything - well, really it was impossible to pull this network in the first seconds of the fire? Several times they extinguished burning mazs and urals - the engine compartment lights up there first of all, because everything is always in oil. But the armored personnel carrier should be tight with more, because it floats. That is, until the flame in the MTO reached, it was possible to extinguish ...

What is it like ? And where is the Russian threat, and where is the threat of a referendum on Scotland conducted under the leadership of Putin? This is you so in vain!

Actually, why do you, fuck, dear, not like in our army? Dug up the picture, and why? The people touches me - they just started to get out of the zhopeni, again, fir-trees, sticks, everything is bad for them. Companions from the breed Belinsky-Dostoevsky. Those, too, lived badly, they moaned in such a way that after 120 years we at school were sickened with their moans. From their search for truth, the country will hiccup for a long time. Found a lot of something, stupid raznochinskaya? I know one thing for sure - today my girls can sleep peacefully.

Yes you die a small loss. One will be less. Again, the air will become cleaner, otherwise it will be blown away from you, as if it were from a public flair.

Yes, we have cleaner closets. Closets in the heads are indestructible. However, for 100 thousand. the population should be some dybilov, some prostitutes. Statistics, exact science, you can not argue with it.
(we can only agree on what our government is constantly doing).

The planned reduction will make the British army the smallest in recent 200 years, the newspaper notes

And Britain is even more insignificant on the world stage. The rule of Britain - these words are already mockingly

Victor, hi! Something wrong is being done in the Kingdom of Great Britain: Russia is threatening, Russian submarines are swarming with the coast, and the warship crews are understaffed at the mistress of the seas, and there’s another reduction! Hto a traitor ???

good day, how who? "Russian hackers"

[bouncyhunter]

E-mine, what - have you already found a Russian trace? Eugene, welcome!

[Warrior with machine gun]

I welcome Pasha, so they have this trace after any school is pre-registered))

I won’t be surprised if the GDP in the morning asks Peskov: "Well, and what did I oversleep - what else are we to blame?" .

[rocket757]

Hi Pasha, hello everyone.
Maybe there’s one more of our Chapman’s night cuckoos, though .... maybe there’s a little guy from ours who scandals in airplanes, made a nest, and whispers to the admiral’s lords and generals, but at least politics, we need sho !!!
Not only hackers are our zemlyots rich !!! Our cuckoos oh-ho-what !!! Sweet and enticing, though ... something was said there about social irresponsibility ??? However, this service is such !!!

Vitya, you know, I would definitely succumb to Anya Chapman as a single man, but I'm not James Bond.

As if I’m not single, a pre-retirement man, I’m not depriving the EXCELLENT HALF of our attention either.

My friend, but who diminishes their merits ??? Today is Friday - therefore I propose a drink for the ladies who are nearby or those whom we would like to see nearby!

They also fuck about a dozen oligarchs to catapult, these will plunder everything there, and their kids will completely decompose and demoralize their kids. Here it is, the corruptive influence of the east. And then they will understand what Byzantine treachery is.

[askort154]

But what about the "Russian threat"? The Baltic states were driven into the cellar, while they themselves
dissolve the army. Ah yes, the queen.

[rotmistr60]

for 14 thousand people

And this is with the growing daily Russian "threat"? Something is wrong in the kingdom of England. According to their analysis, the fleet is breathing frankly, 14 thousand w / cl are superfluous ... Or does Britain today also rely exclusively on the United States?

There is simply no one to serve. The English men are less and less, and the packs with the Indians are pacifists.

The army will be reduced, PMCs will increase and all matters. For parades and demonstrations of the flag, 50000 is enough for the eyes, and wild geese will be sent to die.

Currently, the Russian threat is restrained by the valiant APU in the Donbass)))

The media are telling us about the threat of NATO and they are reducing the army?
