In Britain, they announced half-empty arsenals due to the ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine

102

British arsenals are very poor due to supplies weapons to Ukraine, it will take several years for the military industry to fill them up again. This was stated by the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Britain, Tony Radakin.

The Lords Committee on Foreign Relations and Defense became concerned about the issue of the remaining weapons against the backdrop of the ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine and called the head of the General Staff for a report, who brought to them the disappointing results of military assistance to Kyiv. According to Radakin, it will take years to replenish stocks of weapons.



Let's be honest, we're talking about years because it's really impossible to get a fast production on the click of a button when it comes to modern weaponry.

- he said.

Radakin stressed that Britain's arsenals were depleted due to large volumes of deliveries to Ukraine and the limited capacity of the British industry to produce its own weapons. Judging by his words, Boris Johnson will soon leave the UK without weapons in his quest to help Zelensky, as Britain is unable to meet all the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in weapons and ammunition against the backdrop of massive losses of weapons and the consumption of ammunition.

Meanwhile, the UK does not intend to stop the supply of "military aid" to Ukraine and declares the need to increase them. Moreover, such belligerent statements are made not only by Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, but by Foreign Minister Liz Truss and Prime Minister Boris Johnson. They demand from their allies to "stop Russia" and prevent the victory of the Russian army in Ukraine.

According to experts, Britain is becoming the unspoken leader of the European "party of war", advocating the continuation of the war in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian. London is ready to sacrifice the well-being of its citizens for this.

          the auto industry is no longer essentially British
          If I find a three thousand carat diamond in the yard wassat and I will buy a car factory in Britain, it will not become Latvian. How the French "Lada" did not become. In fact, the industry is here.

    Britain's arsenals have been severely impoverished due to the supply of weapons to Ukraine, it will take several years for the military industry to fill them up again.

    And how does this threaten the once great Britain? Is someone going to attack her? Or is she going to announce CBO? If the Russian threat is meant, then it is unlikely that conventional means will play any role in a nuclear war. English weapons sent in the hands of some Russians kill other Russians. It is a fact. multiply outweighing in value the fact of reducing the arsenal, albeit by 50%.
    Boris Johnson will soon leave the UK without weapons

    That's because of this, all the fuss. Elections soon. It's time to change Borka. Another party will come with another prime minister, nothing will change. Weapons will be supplied. The economy is only a plus. Production growth.
    London is ready to sacrifice the well-being of its citizens for this.

    And how does this relate to the supply of weapons from warehouses?

    Stop Russia - Zelya replies - you know that this is impossible. Russia will capture the Ukraine and then together we will go to the west of Europe.. But why do we need London? Everyone understands that after a nuclear war, the survivors and the less affected will begin a new colonization of the world. Why then nuclear warheads?

      Those nuclear warheads that England has belong to it only formally. Without permission from the United States, they still cannot be used. And given the desire of the United States to ruffle Europe, England will never receive this permission. Even if it will be vitrified. Therefore, a nuclear attack on England will by no means lead to a nuclear war. No one will fit in for England, nor England itself will be able to answer at least something.

    In Britain, they announced half-empty arsenals due to the ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine
    So the military-industrial complex of those countries should rejoice, but there is hardly a reason for joy for a simple man in the street, a burgher and other TAX PAYERS!
    Money will be printed, BUT, inflation and other related things, where will it go??? It's more likely to hit even harder.
    So it will be with everyone who decided to participate in that "holiday go / Yo \ tizma"! the best prospects will be preserved by the one who jumps or crawls away in time!
    Let's see who is the most cunning / cunning there.

    If there was a nuclear disaster in the past, then history is silent about it. But it is obvious that the participants in a nuclear war will be excluded from the further game due to the bombings and third countries that have not been touched by nuclear bombings enter the arena of world ownership. A repeat of the past? Do not want.
