2.5% of GDP by 2030 isnt nearly enough

Defence spending needs to be 5% of GDP, minimum.

Peace dividend is over.
Time to prepare for World War. It is coming. And our enemies have been preparing for decades.

"Rishi announces rise in defence spending" - like several Rishi announcements recently, it's all pretty meaningless. It's not really like he's gonna get a chance to implement any of them.

Let's pray that the lefties finally see the light!

Cheers,
PJ

UK to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP - meaning tens of billions of pounds of extra funding

Errrr. Where was the punctuation clue that it was irony??

I'm not a mind reader!!!

[wad collector] 23/4/2024 13:58

Err ...you didn't spot my irony...

How do we buy them in from Far East if the supply chains collapse and we have a major world war?

Any idea how long it takes a ship to get from there to here!

Or are we going to fly in such?

We're certainly going to need a home guard at some point.

World War is coming. Sadly.

We have had peace for so long many people have become soft and complacent.

[wad collector] 23/4/2024 13:23

We don't need a stockpile, we can just buy them in from the Far East. Nothing to worry about as long as we don't need them at the start . The home guards managed.

Hope UK has enough shells,and bullets when the war comes to Western Europe.
Because it seems we have hardly any such supplies to defend our own nation.


Likelihood we've been ramping up production of munitions given little new money for Defence is????

So this scarcity is likely to still exist.

Let's hope we dont see a World War eh because we clearly dont have enough supplies to protect ourselves.....

UK promises Ukraine ‘hundreds of thousands more’ shells

..... “The UK remains fully engaged with the international capability coalitions and numerous other partners to understand where further opportunities may exist to increase our support to Ukraine. To date the UK has provided over 300,000 artillery shells to Ukraine, and has committed to delivering 100s of thousands more this financial year, and a further investment of £245 million on artillery ammunition in 2024-25.”

The Royal Navy’s latest Astute Class submarine has been officially named at BAE Systems’ Submarines site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. Agamemnon - named after the ancient Greek king - is the sixth of seven Astute submarines being built by the Company. She is due to be launched later this year, ahead of being commissioned into the Royal Navy.

Don’t you want to address the question?

Lawmakers in Washington are becoming increasingly agitated about the lack of new Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters being delivered to the US military.

Specifically, members of Congress are frustrated with the inability of military airframer Lockheed to complete airworthiness certification on the latest technical configuration of the advanced stealth fighter, known as Technical Refresh-3 (TR-3).

The latest of eight Challenger 3 prototypes rolled off the Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land factory production line in Telford as the Defence Secretary had an opportunity to meet the engineers and apprentices who have worked on this crucial programme.

BAe has gradually turned from a safe high yielding blue chip to an exciting investment!

I've held for many years as an income investor in a diversified port. As long as they keep delivering the divis I'll continue to hold, having little interest in share price fluctuations.

[gswredland] 17/4/2024 13:03
