"Strongly behind": the British army was unable to prepare for a large -scale war - the media
Among other things, it is a need to make plans for confiscation of land for cultivation in order to be able to feed the population, and to carry out requisition of household electronics for weapons. Separately, Hippi noted that Britain's readiness does not coincide with the scale of the threat, and added that "the war is a matter of the whole nation and, frankly, we are far behind in Britain.
" According to Hippi, during the presidency of the Ministry in 2022, Ben Wallace constantly repeated that goals should be conducted by government training in order to deliver officials to the bunker so that they would see in their own eyes what environment they would have to work during the war. However, no one seriously accepted this proposal, which was why "this was attended only by the ministers of defense, senior military officers and representatives of the Ministry of Defense.
" The former head of the Ministry of Defense of the UK Ben Volles agreed with the importance of this call, noting that in the government too many people expect that the current unstable situation will not be long. Instead, he believes that it is worth "blowing dust" from the leaderships made during the Cold War, regarding how Britain will be governed during the war.
"The growing instability and lack of security against Britain and its allies say that society needs to be aware that our main duty is to think about our protection and sustainability. We are convinced of this during the Cold War, and all , from the local government to the Ministry of Defense, they played their role, "he explained.
The reason for the criticism of the excendants was that the British government was late to revise its plans in the event of a total war, given the Russian full -scale invasion of Ukraine. It should be reminded that on January 30 it was reported that the UK army, despite the largest defense budget in Europe, has problems with funding and number.
