​@@daveoc5770.No, the British army has said that. NATO has also said they're behind on artillery manufacturing as a whole.

The upside is that in the same conflict at the start of the Russo-Ukraine War the French had only enough artillery for 2 days. Here's the real kicker though - at the top mortality rates of the War the British Army could only stay in the field for about two weeks!

Well, the US approach has been commercialization and privatization of capability. I work in A&D and for decades what we heard from the generals was the magic word "COTS" - Commercial Off the Shelf. They kept hammering us to make commercial products with a military angle. It worked.

@@Gnosticware Yes, but at a cost, for shareholders wanted it to be delivered 'lean' - meaning with as little as a workforce possible. Understandably, I must say, since governments, especially in Western Europe weren't exactly forthcoming with orders on which suppliers could rely. But the fact that some major defence companies outsourced parts of their production to low wage countries, such as China, was a bridge too far imho. I remember a decade or so ago that AH-64D Apaches had made in China processors in them, that turned out to have a few 'backdoors' which made them vulnerable to all kinds of cyber warfare by China. Keeping costs as low within reasonable limits, certainly, that makes sense. Innovation, that's the market's forte, I agree. When it comes to continuity, responsiveness to geopolitical situations and to commitment to national interests... I tend to believe that shareholders know only allegiance to their assets and an easy way off to some bounty island with very favorable tax exemptions. I guess we need both government (and if at all possible, a well led one, not by the current generation of politicians) and private enterprise, favorably in a relationship where they reinforce each other's strengths and compensate for their mutual shortcomings. And to the benefit of all, not just the very happy few.

@@Pincer88 Focus on bottom line is _exactly_ the reason COTS works and has been so successful here. For a primer go look at SpaceX which was born out of a NASA commercialization program. Aerospace lift $/kg was always too expensive not even including inevitable overruns. Now the old school rocket companies and countries are done for.

Room temperature IQ take

The Royal Navy is one of our biggest assets.

Yes, you are right, partially. Drones have been important in Ukraine at halting the Russian army and slowing down land operations, but not much more, honestly. Ukraine 's counteroffensive last summer was an utter failure, as they lacked enough man power and armor to carry out such complicated feat. Which demonstrates the necessity to still have, in the drone era, a properly equipped land army, capable of carrying out land operations. You inevitably need armored vehicles for that, in good quantity and quality

Drones are just little electric aircraft, they are not super weapons. Everything can and will generate a counter measure. If you think drones alone can win wars, that's just stupid. The big lesson learned in Ukraine is that both sides continue to be lead by Soviet Doctrine and Tactics, which is why you see zero combined arms actions; mass coordinated attacks and break throughs, encirclements etc., like a Western NATO country would do. In the end, it's the people on the ground and in-charge that are fighting this war poorly on both sides. Just like if you gave a caveman a M-16, he would use it as a club.

How about we dont fight our brothers?
