  • The Ukraine conflict shows that the UK needs to have a structure in place to work with industries to face modern threats, a leading defence company has said.
    Defence industry giant KBR, which has been providing support to the British Army for more than a decade, will now be working with the UK to support Ukraine and says lessons can be learned on how to incorporate defence and industry in times of war.
    "The UK industry and UK MOD have had as much, if not more, to learn from the Ukrainians in that exchange and, likewise, British industry has a huge amount it can provide to support the effort," said the head of policy and public affairs for KBR, Hugo Rosemont.

      There has always been 2 problems, those systems have always been very complex to mount and to get eletricity output to it, vehicles not ment to be equiped from factory with such systems do not generate enough eletricity to power those defense systems. Secondly, virtualy all of NATO and much of the world, is using armored vehicles who's design dates back 20 sometimes 40 years ago which despite modernized, they where never even envisioned to get such systems so, mounting them has been the hardest challenge since vehicles don´t have enough space for all the components while externaly, the defense systems interfere with the vehicle systems such as antennas, weapons and so on.

      Defense companies made money during WWII. Did that make the war against Hitler unjust?!
      Don’t confuse symptom and cause. Yes there is money to be made now, as all western states are tooling up their defense posture and their ability to help Ukraine.
      That doesn’t mean the war was engineering for profit. Putler decided he wanted an empire, now we are resisting the mad man. When the war is done, we will need to make less weapons, thank Darwin.

    Has the UK started to increase its own force numbers in personnel and hardware? No, it hasn't taken he very real threat of a coming world war seriously at all. Heading into 3 years of a brutal unprovoked war in Ukraine, the UK government certainly stepped up to support Ukraine, but do not appear to be building their own forces up for a possible large scale war itself. I know that spending billions on defense is not popular with taxpayers, but being attacked when not prepared at all is far worse. You don't want to try build a decent military during an active war, prepare right now, when preparations should really have commenced when Russia first annexed Crimea. We all saw the future full scale invasion coming back in 2024, when Putin stated that he would not take even more of Ukraine lands and peoples, that alone confirms he wanted more, Putin is a liar and war criminal.

I imagine the fishing boats/seaplanes acting like the mother ship for a bunch or rubber boats. Once Ukraine gets word the ruSSian ships are approaching international waters, Ukraine launches a bunch of manned rubber boats (to lower radar footprint) with several of those wonderfully effective Ukrainian sea drones in various strategic places to discreetly sit and wait.
