The UK is reviewing the size of its ammunition stockpiles, Sky News can reveal. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has exposed how past assumptions on what would be needed to fight a war were far too small, Whitehall and defence industry sources have said

He"has no interest in defence and security. Those charged with that in Number 10 can barely get access to him. The President Zelenskyy visit was engaged with late and with only peripheral passing interest. If it's not domestic or economic, it doesn't feature".

They warned that any significant uplift in the size would require new funding, which has so far not been guaranteed.A defence industry source said there needed to be a 100% increase in the number of precision-guided missiles. A second source said the boost needed to be far higher. The British government's strategy before Russia's invasion, had been to hold a limited number of warfighting supplies - it costs money to keep in storage things like ammunition and spare parts - and rely on industry to deliver more in a crisis.

‘Sky News can reveal’……who writes this crap….

I guess they don’t make from weapons, which seems strange

I can also reveal that Lady Mone and her husband are going into the armaments and munitions business. TorySleaze

Then decided to cut the number of F35's on order, so they could give the scumbags in the city a tax cut

And don't get me started about the Harrier a perfect weapon system for the Ukrainians scrapped by Cameron (a tory) despite Bae systems saying they would store it, for free. Why not report about that, they cut the Army to one brigade, decided we didn't need tanks

After 12 years of tory rule and cost cutting I will place a bet that they are not big enough. There are plans too mothball the Prince of Wales by this government because they cut the navy so we no longer have a surface fleet big enough to protect it

US, UK, EU, NATO Stop being warmongers around the world. Ordinary soldiers will spill theirs and people from Ukraine are losing their lives for something that is not our problem. The West pushed the Ukrainians into this crime -.

Good

Talking of ammunition stockpiles, have you heard the rumours that Ukraine is going to invade Transnistria to get hold of old USSR stockpiles?

Stop giving it away then.

MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT ON NURSES, TEACHERS, PARAMEDICS, U.K. INFRASTRUCTURE, REDUCING FUEL DUTIES. The list is endless, money should NOT BE USED TO SUPPORT A WAR MANUFACTURED BU THE US TO SELL WEAPONS

Conservative Party + Rishi Sunak is another rich, canny twit who has no clue about the history of real people living their daily lives, he's Prime Minister and it will soon be the end of the real Britain.

Stop sending weapons to Nazis to protect their borders with Russia - focus on our borders Rishi

Another US trial to dismantle Ukraine's political system and further prepare Ukraine for war with Russia has begun 2014. 'The Nuland-Pyatt leak phone'.

Fun fact the USA considers the UK to be a liability now. They have serious doubts that we could defend our own a space let alone anybody else's.

He's the prime minister of the United Kingdom, not fucking Ukraine, sod off with this warmongering propaganda bullshit, we're sending money and weapons to a country that's nearly 2,000 miles away and to fund them in a war that's got nothing to do with us, ridiculous

Why don’t we sit this one out for a change and come back to the world when we have our own house in order again and have something worthwhile to give. Let the EU take this on.

Requiring some time for the need to seek advise? 👍

Sunak won’t even give the funds to reinforce our own depleted arsenal

Or just stop arming Ukraine

Better start stockpiling. War is on the horizon. Don't want to be caught with our pants down.

Shocking

UK stocks are depleted already leading to UK not being able to defend itself. CostOfLivingCrisis

Time to start peace talks.

So while we are sending millions over to Ukraine we arent properly equipped to defend ourselves. 🤡💩

WW111 is coming called the battle of Armageddon, The final battle.
