The F-35 is a “strategic bomber” — right — with a 4,000 pound payload and short range “legs”? Sorry, RAF, that doesn’t impress anyone with a brain.
I got a better idea! Why doesn't formerly-Great Britain just totally disarm, and give all its nukes to ISIS! That would be the non-racist and liberal thing to do. Just disarm, and preemptively surrender to ISIS. I mean, hey, they imams need little British white girls to marry, anyway, so they won't blow up England.
The Tridents are still a useful MAD tool. They could destroy an enemy long after their own nation had been rendered ruins. Deterrence rules.
Didn't the people on the dole get bumped off the dole in countries like France once Germany occupied the country?
Erm, we had several real bombers. The likes of the Vulcan (which I saw last year in flight up close, amazing) surpassed anything at the time that even the big two of the US and USSR could produce.
In fact despite appalling govt interference or lack of money and resources at critical times, Britain from 1946 to 1966 produced a list of brilliant technology, military and civilian, that matched and even surpassed the US and USSR.
Given how close the UK is to an Islamic takeover, I’d be happier if they got rid of the Tridents.
It’s a report by a think tank, backed with quotes from Scottish Nationalist agitators, all to do with removing UK nuclear capability from Scottish land in lieu of independence.
There is nothing here that the UK Gov will do.
The Successor (Trident delivery system) subs will be built, the question will be the number; three or four.
Quite spurious by yourself to say otherwise.
There are other questions that could be discussed here, such as the UK MPA (decision coming after the May General Election - read P8 or P1), or increasing Astute numbers at the cost of reduced T26, but I’ll leave that for another day.
But the UK..........oh whats the use.
