The UK is now at war with Russia

UK must prepare for WAR with Russia: Army calls for fleet of battle tanks to take on Putin
It comes as tensions between Nato countries and Moscow continued to mount, with Russia threatening “nuclear counter measures” over a plan to bolster nuclear facilities in Germany.
David Cameron is currently trying to find a “compromise deal” with Russian president Vladimir Putin over tackling the IS terror group in Syria.
But Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, an increase in Nato air-space incursions by Russian bombers, and the development of a new Russian “super tank” has led senior commanders to admit that the prospects of a conventional ground war In Eastern Europe can no longer be ignored.
The British Army has 227 Challenger 2 main battle tanks but, while they are still respected, they are in urgent need of upgrade.
Last year the British Army took part in live-fire Nato exercise in Poland with more than 100 armoured vehicles. Operation Black Eagle “highlighted the British Army’s ability to deploy an armoured battlegroup at short notice anywhere in the world in support of the nation’s allies.”

I remember Horse Guards being concerned that Roosian cavalry mounts were larger than ours.

FFS. Soon as there looks to be cooperation between Russia and Europe regarding Syria the bloody right wing goes flag waving.

I ain't right wing. I'm a mature nihilist and will take bad ideas from anywhere, or anyone.
