Hundreds of British special force troops are ready to deploy to the Ukranian border at a moment’s notice, amid rising tensions and fears of a possible Russian invasion in the region, according to reports.
The UK’s Special Air Service and Parachute Regiment are prepared to enter the region with medics, engineers, signalers, and hundred of paratroopers, The Mirror reported.
“The high readiness element of the brigade was told it may need to deploy at very short notice, a source told The Mirror.
“Between 400 and 600 troops are ready. Their equipment is packed and they are ready to fly to Ukraine and either land or parachute in. They have trained for both eventualities.”
The military move comes after the European Union accused Belarus, which borders both the Ukraine and Poland, of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis by urging migrants to illegally cross into the EU via Poland.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, has denied any wrongdoing.
Hundreds of British paratroopers supported by artillery units could drop into the region within 36 hours of authorization, senior defense sources told the paper.
Britain’s highest ranking military officer, General Sir Nick Carter, told Times Radio in an interview expected to air Sunday, that Russia poses a significant and real risk to the West.

Finally a guy with a head on his shoulders.
Or maybe a head on his mug of beer.
Gif of total loss nuclear was.....
Not worth saving Taiwan, Ukraine or Biden’s political rear end.
Stay out of this. Hint: Vietnam War, Afghanistan....
I still have a shudder go through me when I turn up a certain brand of cashews and it says from blah blah and Vietnam. And a Wal-Mart shirt I looked at said Made in Vietnam. I thought McCain and his business pals smiling and embracing the Communist Vietnam business leaders a few years ago. After so many died or were maimed for nothing. Old men sent young men out to die and made money off the wars.
Which border? Their western border with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova? Their eastern border with Russia? The eastern border with the Donetsk and Lugansk separatist regions, either at the claimed or the de facto borders? How about the Crimea?
We can't (or won't) even control our own border with Mexico. How can we control the Ukranian-Russian border? And the British special forces would be better used defending their own Channel coast.
If Russia feels a need to go in (unlikely), this is a suicide mission, for these men & potentially the fools that sent them.
Russia or communist controlled America, I’ll take Russia.
400 to 600 hundred troops?
That’s only about half a battalion.
What do think think they’re going to accomplish?
I like Wendy’s myself.
Their Baconators are just the best.
I say let Europe handle their own affairs with Ukraine......it has been and always will be Putins red-line regarding Nato/Us intrusion on it’s border countries.
......Reads....”ready to deploy” to the Ukranian border at a moment’s notice....
I’ll believe they actually deploy when I see it.
Taiwan makes 50% of the Chips we use in our cars. Ukraine makes nothing any American would buy in 2021.
China is a pretty soft target. All Brandon would have to say to Xi is “you invade Taiwan, and we will bounce a Hypersonic Missile off the 3 Gorges dam”
Invasion canceled.
One of Eisenhower's strong suits was Logistics.
It paid off, and Ike built the Freeways because of what he learned.
“ Between 400 and 600 troops are ready”
The only thing that will deter is Milley’s queers and trannys 🤪
No... Those were the Royal Marines, Britain’s equivalent of our Marine Corps.
According to the article, the units they’re sending are Special Boat Squadron and Special Air Squadron troops, IOW special forces comparable to the Navy SEALs or US Army Rangers.
Badasses all.
Hundreds of UK Troops on the Ukraine border are nothing but speed bumps for the Russian hoard.
The ragheads LOVE to get white men into legal/political jambs !
Thanks, especially for computer chips in cars info.
Thanks.
