After two months of war against Russia, His Majesty´s Armed Forces would be depleted and it would be over for them.
Lt Gen Sir Rob Magowan, the Deputy Chief of Defence staff, made a statement according to which the UK could not fight Russia for more then two months. His main reason is a lack of ammunition.
Although Defence Secretary Grant Shapps failed to wheedle more money out of Sunak (Sunak is overwhelmed by The Great Stink), he is playing down the issue and says that the UK would only fight Russia in the framework of the Nato. This is a very foolish assessment because you can have dozens of allies that have ammo for two months and they would be still out of ammo after two months. And Biden has ruled out sending troops, stressing countries going to fight Russia are on their own.
But it is not only the ammunition. It is also about the military´s capabilities and a recruitment crisis, MPs were told already in February.

Former UK military chief: Syrian army is the only credible force against ISIS
Former UK military chief General Sir David Richards: "Accept that Assad’s army and his Hezbollah and Iranian backers are the only credible force that could fight Isis on the ground in Syria." However, to attract Cameron, he uses strange words of "using" "Assad´s army" against ISIS and create a...
