Time to cut our losses and go in another direction. The MOD program team all need locking up for this

Yep, it’s got MRA4 written all over it……

In a sensible world that would stop. The fortunes spent on Trident should be all that's needed. You'd have imagined the defence of EU countries would have been withdrawn at Brexit.

We should give all that money to the NHS

For an island nation the need for a conventional army is limited if you have a functional nuclear deterrent,that is if wars aren't being waged as proxies for the US/Nato to underpin their political and economic aims.

They don't need extra money, they have been getting an extra £350 million per week since brexit.

Western officials announced additional military aid for Ukraine on June 15. US President Joe Biden pledged $1 billion worth of military aid, including coastal defense weapons, advanced rocket systems, artillery, and ammunition to support Ukrainian operations.[1] NATO members additionally announced they will additionally continue to provide Ukraine with heavy weapons and long-range systems and plan to agree on a new assistance package after consultations with Ukraine’s Defense Ministry.[2] This newest round of military aid will be invaluable to support Ukrainian operations, especially in the face of increasingly protracted and artillery-heavy fighting against Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine, though Ukraine will require further sustained support.

They say a picture paints a thousand words, now I’m not sure that true, but every now and again….

I’ll be surprised if it ever enters service: loud and very uncomfortable for troops; serious mechanical defects (not just the ride) and as stealthy as a 747.

I would have thought that Ukraine would benefit from the financial investment from the EU, vital in rebuilding it.

It's a very interesting development. How will the EU respond to an attack on a member state? Given veto status, Ukraine will not allow any concessions in EU negotiations with Russia if it impacts on their attempt to reclaim the annexed areas.
