@campbellclaret @MikeTilburn You are the only weapon of mass destruction that needs to be in court

So will you be up for a proper investigation into their interference in Brexit referendum?

Russia continues to pose a threat to the United Kingdom and our allies. We need to see much more direct action against Russia and its intolerable behaviour.

@ModernNavy @RFAHeadquarters @RoyalNavy The only Bay currently in the water 🫡 I wish we still had the four we actually built, but naturally, our government of the day decided to sell one

@Keir_Starmer @FennellJW You are lying again; we can all see your lips moving. A secure UK would have the armed forces we deserve and you will not order a single ship, boat or plane, won't settle the RFA pay dispute and prosecute our veterans whilst protecting the criminals you import

The war in Iran must now become a line in the sand, because how we emerge from this crisis will define all of us for a generation.
We will build a Britain that is stronger, more secure and more resilient. That is what this moment demands.

Totally agree.
Utterly ridiculous and weak.
Andrew Neil@afneil
The is arse-covering nonsense. The idea we couldn’t send warships to the Mediterranean because they were busy shadowing Russian subs closer by, is ridiculous on so many levels. But let’s just settle for this — Type 45s don’t hunt subs.

Good article from David Bellamy explaining £76trillion is being spent to solve a mythical problem that never was.

@AlecBell5826 @PWestoff What crippled the MoD budget was the Blair/Brown decision to pay for their wars out of the existing MoD budget; a trick pulled by most governments since. MoD budgets are set at maintenance rates during peacetime. If you want to fight a war, you have to pay extra! That's the deal

The Royal Navy by numbers:
Frigates: 7. Available: 3
Destroyers: 6. Available: 1 - HMS Dragon (broken).
Naval Manpower (excluding Royal Marines): 20,000
Admirals : 40
Commodores: 90
MOD Civil Servants: 55,000
Clown Service - destroyed by politicians.

@PWestoff This is so horrifically misinformed it's embarrassing
PWLS deployed 9 months last year to the INDOPAC
T45s can operate in warm temperatures diamond operated for months in the Red Sea on 2024 where she notched a kill on a ballistic missile with viper
No range?
English
We have two modern aircraft carriers of course, but they rarely work and are not fitted with steam catapult launch systems, so the F-35B jets use huge fuel for semi-vertical take-off and landing and thus lack combat range. The few Frigates and Destroyers are not battle ready and cannot defend the carriers. Even worse, the Destroyers cannot operate in warm seas (mid-east) because electrical demand (radar + full battle stations) overloads electrical capacity unless the A/C is turned off..... A tragic comedy for an Island nation.

We all know Starmer knew about Mandelson.
He just lies.
illuminatibot@iluminatibot
IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT KEIR STARMER KNEW ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN "Documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act show Britain's National Crime Agency was running a classified intelligence operation on Epstein's British connections — from inside the British Embassy in Washington, D.C." KEIR STARMER KNEW ABOUT PETER MANDELSONS DEEP TIES WITH EPSTEIN AND STILL APPOINTED HIM

Wind turbines are getting bigger, more efficient, and are delivering higher output. That sounds impressive, but it isn't compared to other sources.
A single nuclear plant, for example, produces around 1,750 megawatts. To match that, you need roughly 150 large turbines.
Wind uses over 100X more land than nuclear for the same output. And turbines, of course, only produce power when the wind is blowing. Nuclear is constant.
Then there's the storage requirements.
To make wind reliable, you need batteries. At grid scale, that becomes impossible with current technologies.
Wind power remains an expensive pipe dream, lining the pockets of a few at the expense of the many.
English
@Franksquarerig There are a number of potential solutions to this problem:-
1 - extend the life of the 45's (very likely)
2- build batch 2 45's (extremely unlikely)
3- order more T26's and sub the module bay for an AA capability
This last one makes sense to me, but def won't happen.

Answer to the Question below is Zero Chance any type 83 in service before last type 45 scheduled to pay off in 2038. Seriously given glacial pace of procurement & shipbuilding this not not even remotely possible
Modern Royal Navy@ModernNavy
Will Type 83 destroyers be in service when the last Type 45 is paid off in 2038. Will build start in time with frigate HMS GLASGOW taking 9 years plus. They are to play a key role in the Future Air Dominance System against emerging threats @navalnewscom youtu.be/7OFJXfoOsyk?si…

I am looking at the legal case to push for a Judicial Review against mad Ed Milliband granting the UKs largest Solar Farm.
Will keep you posted.

Great effort with what we have, as always, but highlights only having 1 operational frigate, no operational Atlantic SSN & not enough P-8s (6 active).

@thinkdefence They could certainly be used as a mother ship for large UAV's

Would you say a Stirling Castle style vessel is a better offshore patrol vessel than the River class?. Similar crew, but much higher capacity and space for modules (various)
