Balpin Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2068323/Storming-British-Embassy-Iran-This-rabid-rogue-state-tip-world-new-dark-age.html This talk of bunker busting bombs and mini nukes, is disturbing to say the least. Espescially as we now the weakest armed forces ever, thanks to this Tory shambles of a government. The Iranians know this is a government on its last legs and are taking advantage of the situation. The trouble is, it will be us, the public, on the recieving end of the terrorist bombs, which are sure to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Dome Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Our weakest arm forces ever, is still better than most countrys armed forces. And with Israel and the US on side (and inside we'll be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrod Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Keep on topic please.You raised it in your OP, so it's on topic. Can you answer? Or would you like to continue dishonestly blaming the Tory government for armed forces reductions when you know full well it was Labour who chopped them?

Grandad.Malky Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The Iranians know this is a government on its last legs and are taking advantage of the situation. I guess they hope the Iranians can’t read. Here’s an example of what big-time budget cuts do to real world military operations; the Royal Navy frigate HMS Westminster apparently steamed to the fight in Libya armed with only four Sea Wolf anti-aircraft missiles. Yes, four. The ship can carry 38 Sea Wolfs plus eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles. Yes, you can say that there was very little threat of an airborne attack on the ship during Operation Odyssey Dawn/Ellamy/Unified Protector. Nevertheless, it’s not comforting to hear that a ship from one of the world’s premiere navies was sent into combat under-armed. This comes just a little while after it was revealed that budget cuts forced the Royal Navy to leave the British home waters unpatrolled by a major warship for the first time in decades.
