Should we go all in on drones or hang back a bit and see what the next turn of the technology wheel looks like?

This is what I mean about being unrealistic. We feel that leading is somehow a core role, a birthright even. We have a Ferrari but cant afford the tyres or insurance, but still enjoy telling everyone how rich we are

š„A senior military source tells @thetimes that Starmer's defence funding offer will āundermine our ability to lead in any alliance from Nato to the JEF [Joint Expeditionary Force]ā.
The source said of the chaos over defence spending: āIt does considerable damage. We are now one of the lowest defence spenders in Nato, a 180 [degree-turn] from the historic trend to the UK being the highest per capita European defence spender. The influence we once had with nations looking to us as the example is over.ā

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

It is absolutely fair to be utterly outraged about this but some of this spending would have been to meet statutory obligations. The police cannot break the law!. We need to understand the root cause, and address that, not just rage at the police
Police force who dismissed volunteer for questioning Islam spent 46 constable salaries on DEI

Some cracking answers that made me chuckle, but no one said convert them into HQ spaces for ARRC, replacing their tents, or, as assured strategic transport for light role infantry!

Suppose the British Army has just been gifted fifty of these. What is it doing with them?
