UK Defence Secretary: Royal Navy’s global reach expanding to unprecedented levels

The UK Defence Secretary has announced that the Royal Navy’s power projection capabilities are to increase such that Britain will have the power to defeat “any adversary” “on the seven seas of the world”.
Speaking atop the Royal Navy’s largest-ever aircraft carrier, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that the state-of-the-art HMS Queen Elizabeth meant that Britain could now combat a vast array of threats, ranging from terrorists to nation-states, from all corners of the globe. This, he indicated, was thanks to recent government defence policy whereby participation in international exercises, new naval ship acquisitions, hikes in defence spending and new overseas bases are at the forefront of a bold new approach.
The manifestation of this global reach is perhaps most obvious in Britain’s international counter-terrorism operations. In the aftermath of the Iraqi forces’ victory in Mosul, Fallon praised the efforts of British forces in the siege of the city, even adding that it was “thanks to” Britain’s forces that so-called Islamic State had finally been driven out of Iraq’s second-largest city, after their three-year stay. Shedding light on the largely secret role of UK force elements in the fight against IS, a military project known as “Operation Shader”, the Defence Secretary explained “We have trained the Iraqi forces. Over 50,000 Iraqi troops have been trained by the British Army. The RAF have flown day and night strike operations in support of ground forces and our Royal Navy has helped guard the American carrier in the Gulf from which other strikes have been flown”.
The UK’s role in counter-terrorism operations in the region has been kept largely unknown in the public domain – the standard Whitehall approach to defence matters, and in stark contrast to French and American approaches, by which it is not uncommon to expose even the most secretive special forces operations. That said, it is thought that Britain has several naval assets in the Gulf, including but not limited to reconnaissance submarines and carrier protection vessels. In addition, British bases in Cyprus (RAF Akrotiri) and Qatar (RAF Al Udeid) have been hosting UK strike and aerial reconnaissance aircraft (both manned and unmanned) which fly day and night operations over Iraq and Syria. Furthermore, a BBC report in 2016 suggested that UK special forces were one of the most active the region, with large numbers in Syria, Iraq and Libya embarking on routine operations, details of which are strictly classified.
However, the UK’s power projection capability is growing in conventional battle theatres, too. With the construction of both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales – both of which are 65,000-ton naval “super-carriers”, the opening of new Royal Navy facilities east of Suez, primarily in Bahrain, as well as the expansion of Royal Navy deployments to the Asia-Pacific region, it would appear that Britain’s military strategy is expanding to become more outward and bold in nature. Indeed, this is in line with the UK Prime Minister’s announcement in February 2017 of her “May Doctrine” of foreign policy, whereby the promotion of British interests internationally would be at the forefront of the government’s foreign policy.
Notwithstanding, this new strategy comes at a time when British forces face new defence cuts, across the board. British Army numbers are at their lowest since the time of Oliver Cromwell. Royal Marines have seen considerable cutbacks in their strength, apparently in a bid to replace them with naval officers to man the Navy’s new carriers. The RAF’s future is also uncertain, with ambiguity as to how many F-35 jets the UK will eventually purchase and the announcement that the entire Sentinel surveillance fleet would be retired by 2020. Therefore, how Britain will manage to retain its international military footprint, let alone increase it, remains to be seen. Such deep cuts also come at a time when the West faces a global rebalancing of power, with potential foes Russia and China dramatically expanding their defence budgets and power projection capabilities.
Bold statements from Fallon given the cut in T26 orders to just 8, scrapping of Ocean, ordering just 7 Astute SSNs, and no announcements on T31 design or the national ship building strategy. T45 not being fitted with the weapons they should have. Retirement of Tornado aircraft and lack of clarity on F35 variants or numbers in service. Apache numbers cut to 50 and the army at historic low levels.
The QE class and F35Bs will be a step change in power projection when fully combat ready, but only if we have enough ships to defend them.
I think he is kidding himself and the nation.
Fallon really said that “Britain will have the power to defeat “any adversary” “on the seven seas of the world”.”?
I’m now deeply concerned that the Queen Elizabeth has encountered a huge problem during her sea trials. There is clearly some sort of hallucinogenic gas leaking from some machinery onboard that has affected Fallon after his recent visit. I’m struggling to understand how Fallon could spout such nonsense given the current state of the RN/RAF (don’t know as much about the army)…
– Can’t even crew current assets
– Is having plans cut e.g. 8 T26 (we hope) instead of 13
– Has upcoming capability gaps (Harpoon, Sentinel)
– Still no word of T31 progress
– Painfully slow ramp up of what we have in the plans now e.g. F-35 & P-8
– The fall in the value of Sterling making funding even the existing plans looking like needing more cash (£10 billion being one figure that has been floated).
Apart from my hallucinogenic-gas-leak theory I just can’t see where Fallon is coming from with this unless the first bit of this comment is the giveaway: “This, he indicated, was thanks to recent government defence policy whereby participation in international exercises, …”. So yes, we can defeat anyone militarily if, based on our participation in international exercises, we participate with the USA (as in rely on them to get most of the job done) in any future conflict with a major adversary. In that case I suppose what he says is true, assuming the USA wanted to get involved, but it doesn’t actually say anything about the capabilities of the UK military.
But let’s be clear: no defence review has ever resulted in more spending. So the army is going to feel the squeeze, and the danger is that the guts will be squeezed out of it. Sedwill says he is ‘interested in effect, not in numbers’. But what if the effect you need is mass? Army numbers have already fallen to 80,000, their lowest in two centuries. Numbers matter because in war, people count. The army’s significant and unprecedented lack of mass is its greatest capability gap. It’s the only one you can’t fill by buying off the shelf as an urgent operational requirement.
The army’s priority will be to keep a mechanised division of two ‘manoeuvre’ brigades and combat support. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to fight alongside the Americans in high-intensity combat, which would mean the end of the special military relationship. Nor could we play our part within Nato. But what of the lighter, more agile units? Troop reductions would make the army little more than a shell.
When briefing Tony Blair once, the then chief of the defence staff began to get the impression that the PM believed the SAS were much bigger than they really were, so he asked him how many he thought there were. ‘Forty thousand?’ replied Blair. To begin with, take off two noughts.

The crackdown – against knife crime, drugs and child exploitation – was carried out by more than 100 officers from the Met, City of London police and British Transport Police.
Not including Tuesday’s raids, officers have made more than 290 arrests since 11 August for a range of offences, recovering 190 knives and 18 firearms.
Luin saman, ihan paskaa... kaksoiskansalaisenakin voin sanoa että toi on mahdotonta. Mutta kiva että agendan mukaan muija vetää julkiseksi samantien, itse ilmoittaisin viranomaisille vaan että katsokaa nyt uudestaan ne kusiset pykälänne... ja Привет!

Kybän lusin siellä, oli brassi, rouhepolakka ja kinkki-mimmit nyt ainakin, ja aina löytyi keinot. I still call bullshit, bro. Agenda edellä mennään just nyt.Olihan tuo yrittänyt ottaa yhteyttä. 6 pv jälkeen sitten vastasivat. Olisit lukenut artikkelin ensin. Kyllä siinä paniikki tulee jos 30 pv varoitusajalla pitäisi lähteä maasta.
The academic spent the next few days contacting a lawyer, her employer, and attempting to speak to the Home Office.
Kyllä itsekin tekisin asiasta julkisen, jos saisin moisen kirjeen ja Home Officesta ei saa vastausta.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...blic-to-be-vigilant-over-bank-holiday-weekendCounter-terrorism police have urged the public to be vigilant over the bank holiday weekend in the face of the increased terrorism threat.
They said there was no specific threat in relation to events taking place but that crowded places were particularly vulnerable. There have already been three attacks in London this year, Westminster Bridge, London Bridge/Borough market and Finsbury Park, and one in Manchester at an Ariana Grande concert.
The attacks have prompted a sharp increase in the number of requests for armed police presence at events. Not all can be or are deemed necessary to be met, but the National Police Chiefs’ Council said officers had been focusing on improving security measures across a range of sectors.

Pääsin livahtamaan verkon läpi, kun vaikutin kerrankin normaalilta .Vain kaksi? LOL
En todellakaan suosittele.
Jep, niin muistankin... itse aikoinaan Blenheim Crescentillä, Bushiin päin, varmaan tunnet. Ja oletan että olet pankkiiri, etkä Yardie... aikainen herätys ...Riippuu ihmisestä. Ei mulla ole koskaan ollut ongelmia. Mut mä olen paikallisia.
