Could tanks be used against long range drones and cruise missiles if they had radar vectoring information and used timed fragmentation shells?

Perhaps once he has left his envoy role he could be employed by Ukraine as full time air defence…

Completely agree about agreeing with the essence and quibbles about some of the detail. Europe needs to include Ukraine and the UK quickly and exclude from decisions those who are trying to destabilise from within.

Green tomato curry, you can store it in jars for months - that’s what we did with ours

I would prefer a first stage to ban X/twitter. If we don’t hear from Elon then he can’t promote the agenda of violence.

It is well known that X promotes hate and divisiveness, given there are no plans for regulation by the company it’s up to our government to restrict, or hopefully ban, access to the service.

❗️Many new followers in recent days—welcome to all of you!

Could you help spread the word about our Bluesky account by reposting this? This way, more people can stay informed about daily updates on the war in Ukraine.

Thank you!

Ukraine for Alaska?

Ok, for each retweet I’ll provide one insight, fact, or opinion on unconventional naval warfare, like submarines, explosive boats, special forces or crazy ideas

0/n 🧵

Why not? It worked in Ukraine ...

My thoughts are - After Russia collapses, close the borders completely for anything travelling into Kaliningrad. Allow & encourage people to leave and take their possessions with them. Effectively empty the enclave without changing nationality. Later Moscow can trade the land in exchange for food

Last weapons shipments from US are due in July, after that I predict open season on russian refineries

Terrible news

We will miss you, but you must look after yourself

Thank you, it was really helped me understand

There's a huge push and ridiculous offers on them in the UK for company cars on lease.
So a lot we see on the roads are none-choice options and big fleet companies only look at cost and residuals not if the owner is a shit weasel.

Can we also ban the platform on which most bullying takes place? Ie X/twitter

It should be considered now. I would guess it will take 6 months from deciding to actually having people start their training. There will be legislation to pass, facilities to be setup, equipment to be bought. So start considering now, we can always wind it down if it’s unnecessary.

Russia is constantly launching cyber attacks against Europe and the US. No one in Europe is scared, we just do the work to mitigate it and work to make things safer. We have national monitoring and support, training for organisations and specialists who can help - it’s not scary, just good practice

Sorry I disagree, Europe have not lowered their cyber defences and would not abandon Ukraine because of a cyber attack on the USA

Peace in Ukraine will only be achieved through military support. Please use your position in parliament to push for significant increases in the military budget and UK forces support for Ukraine.

Really informative article, thank you for explaining it so clearly

Increase spending to at least 3% this year, 4% next year and aim higher. It’s imperative we can stand up for ourselves. Practical steps mean activating our reserves, de-mothballing ships, building more planes and starting the process of rebuilding national service along the Finland model.

Thank you for this article, I agree with your points, additionally.
We should deploy our armed forces including significant air power.
For our security, X/twitter must be closed down in the UK, it was used to trigger and amplify violence in the UK, it is now a propaganda tool the same as RT.

We should deploy now, army and RAF. Let’s offer support in the west of Ukraine bordering Belarus and free Ukrainian troops for their front lines.

Yes

Hopefully 80,000 plus at least half the RAF

Thank you :)
