Take that, Iran!!!! We in the West don’t need no weapons on our warships because WE ARE NATO, and therefore WE ARE INVINCIBLE!
HMS Diamond - anti-air, air defense, guided missile destroyer

All of the British Royal Navy destroyers can launch:
- AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM)
- AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER (SLAM - Expanded Response)
IF THEY HAVE THE MISSILES
LOL...and to think they used to “rule the seas”. Pathetic woke country.
As Rocky and Bullwinkle said, “Rue Brittania”
NATO, the paper tiger.
Little wonder why Putin is eyeing the Baltic states, Turkey (via Islamist allies), Finland, etc.
Only a future Trump administration stands in his way.
Mental and physical firepower is needed to overcome a proxy of Islam.
I thought the Blokes had at least one aircraft carrier. Where is it?
Floating targets.
Some of this issue is rooted in British military priorites. Their navy has never been seen as supporting their army. And being an island nation the navy is their focus. This reality is emphasized since the Brits gave up their empire.
Rather the opposite of Russia which for practical reasons focuses on their army and it’s their navy that comes in second. This reality is emphasized since the Russians gave up their empire.
Wow.
Saw a report from Hertiage that claims the only strong service in US military are the Marines, Army is listed as marginal, Navy as weak, Air Force as very weak. Seems same thing is happening with UK.
Surely they have bombers that can strike Tehran. None of this will end until we cut off the head of the snake.
When you are kid, you try to kill ants when you see them. You can stand there all day and kill them as they walk by. You could use a hammer. You could use a big rock.
But unless you find the nest and kill the queen…those ants will keep coming longer than your arm can swing.
We are using sledge hammers to kill ants on the floor.
The UK is another gutter country using the USA to defend themselves. They should be cut loose with the rest of NATO.
Wonder if one of our Boomers is hovering near their coast?
Bit off subject but strange that is no thread on FR about the US soldiers killed today in Jordan - and another 24 wounded.
They’re reduced to dropping past-date pasties on them.
This reinforces the observation that Britain left the flower of their manhood on the killing fields of WW1 and WWII. Now they’re left with a bunch of cucks, simps and capitulators - much like France.
I didn’t know that they only had Royal Navy destroyers and frigates. A nice heavy cruiser with 12 inch guns would work well. Don’t really think anything large for bombarded would be needed.
