Can Britain Defend Itself?
from Deep Dive
A broken down aircraft carrier. An entire fleet of hunter-attack submarines unfit for war. Dozens of RAF jet pilots stuck in a training backlog. Why are Britain’s armed forces plagued by disaster and delay? This week, defence editor Mark Nicol has been writing about the dire state of Britain’s armed forces, leading the Daily Mail’s Don’t Leave Britain Defenceless campaign. He joins Deep Dive host Chris Pleasance to discuss the near year-long delay to the government's Defence Investment Plan and what Britain's armed forces need to do to prepare for a world where Russia could attack NATO as early as 2030.
