Western analysts predicted a complete defeat of Britain in the war with Russia

28

The British military-industrial lobby came up with another option for the “correct”, in his opinion, redistribution of funds, and the local media, literally in chorus, were quick to make taxpayers happy. According to the laws of the genre, working people must first be scared, so that they can easily part with money and tighten their belts. Therefore, heavy artillery was launched, in the form of the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies, RUSI - an analytical center for defense issues.

So, this structure conducted “research”, after which it prepared a report (by Jack Watling), which, by “coincidental” coincidence, was prepared just for the upcoming meeting of the leaders of the countries of the “peace-loving” military-political bloc of NATO. According to the British media, referring to the document, the British ground forces, in the event of an armed conflict with Russia in the vast expanses of Eastern Europe, will suffer a “crushing defeat”.



It turned out that the British are sorely lacking “critical” firepower, which the Russians have more than enough. For example, the British are sorely lacking in various artillery, ammunition and vehicles. So the "rejuvenation and modernization" of ground artillery is called "urgent and extremely important priority." However, according to the report, the British military, who were going to fight with someone in Eastern Europe, it turns out, is missing a lot more.

Particular attention was paid to cluster munitions. The document clearly states that if the UK wants to win over Russia, then it urgently needs to abandon the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions and begin mass production. The report says that otherwise "enemy artillery will be able to fulfill its fire missions with impunity." In this regard, the UK needs to invest in expensive high-precision weapons and revise its earlier commitments. The author clarifies that in army circles with enthusiasm they will take this initiative. Moreover, the military is interested in developing this type of weapon. At the same time, the position of the British government for the author is not yet clear, but he hopes for understanding.

The British "researcher" even analyzed military capabilities in the "unlikely" context of a "high-intensity conflict between NATO and Russia." However, the UK Defense Department treacherously did not agree with the conclusions of the RUSI expert.

The UK is not alone, but is next to its NATO allies, who work closely with each other in the air, sea, land, nuclear and cyberspace to prevent threats and respond to crises. As Europe’s largest sponsor of NATO, the British Armed Forces are well equipped to play a leading role in countering threats and ensuring the security of the British people at home and abroad.

- said in a statement by the British military.

So we will be watching with undisguised interest whether the British military-industrial lobby will succeed in realizing its plan.

    The British troops, in the event of an armed conflict with Russia in the vast expanses of Eastern Europe, will suffer a “crushing defeat”.

    - and for this it was also necessary to conduct research? Maybe the "British scientists" are better off proving the axiom about how much 2x2 will be? There, it seems to me, there will be more field for research. laughing A -

    if Great Britain wants to triumph over Russia, then it urgently needs ...

    - ... apparently, as the classic said, "prick and forget" ... that's where the British ground forces might see their long-awaited victory over Russia ... The main thing is that the dose is decent ... laughing And with this in the British Armed Forces, in my opinion, there are just no problems - the sailors out there, apparently, are already defeating everyone ... with a Coxik ... wink

        ... yes they want cuts in the military-industrial complex, and not defeat Russia, which also reduces the army ... laughing Bluffing is everything. A real big war, if it starts now, it is most likely due to some kind of computer malfunction, and not because of someone's desire to defeat someone ...

            ... and this is what they do best with "soft power," not military power. Military - how many times they tried, so many times they got in the face. And the "soft" one, through its own people, from within, always produced the required result. They are there, too, tea is not stupid, why should they go after us with the war in that case ... only their own dear ...

              I wonder how do you understand the term "soft power"? And what result is required? Even without a war, the collapse of a country with a bunch of weapons, including nuclear, supplying a third? gas and oil to Europe, it’s still a pleasure. And refugees, if anything, are unlikely to rush to China. All the same, the army is needed. I tell you, they are strange.

                It is much easier than explaining the term "soft power" and its various types of manifestations, one can give examples and results of its use on the example of Russia: the first is the Leninist revolution of October 1917, the second is the process from the end of "perestroika" of the 80s to the early 2000s. The result in both cases is the collapse of a country with a bunch of weapons, supplying a huge amount of raw materials to the whole world, and, of course, the aforementioned refugees, mostly not to China, although there too ...

                  In my understanding, "soft power", and it seems to me that it is closer to the truth, it is, for example, the English language, or Hollywood films, or McDonald's, or the idea of ​​liberal democracy. For us it is the Russian language in the post-Soviet space, Dostoevsky, ballet and Russian vodka.
                  I’m saying that these Westerners are strange, at 17 they brought Russia out of the war, which increased the severity of the war for themselves. Extremists have come to power, dreaming of destroying themselves.
                  In the 90s they bought gas from us, they gave loans, they sent humanitarian aid, they tried equipment.
                  After that, can they be considered smart people?

                    I would also add the period from 1949 to 1962. During this period, the United States could, with impunity, force the USSR to abandon nuclear weapons (or destroy them). In this case, to this day they would have possessed it individually.
                    But that did not happen.
                    This is democracy. The system of government, very perfect in a peaceful and relaxed time. And very inefficient during the period of force majeure.
                    At the same time, not all the mistakes of democracy during periods of force majeure can then be corrected.

                      Personally, you can sing the praises of democracy further, but to the fact that in the period you indicated the United States could get a monopoly on the possession of nuclear weapons or even destroy the USSR, this has a very indirect relation - in my posts I wrote about this before, but let's try to state once again - the total US losses in WWII are slightly less than half a million, and now the question is - what would the Americans do with a politician who tried to destroy the USSR, but in return the USA would receive losses in excess of losses in WWII?
                      So, without a guarantee that this will not happen, and did not try, in fact, of course, we mean nuclear weapons, conventional weapons are different ...
                      And later, the delivery vehicles arrived, those that were guaranteed to raise the level of losses, and in addition to everything on the territory of the United States.

                        You have not written in a short guide?
                        Then I will write about this to you.
                        The Americans would not have suffered any losses at all. Their next hirelings would have fought for them. This time it would be Germans, Japanese, French, and a little later "grateful" Poles with Hungarians. And other little things in Europe.
                        But the mercenaries would not have to fight for a long time. Without supplies of military equipment and food from the USA, the USSR would have lasted a maximum of six months. Not more. And most likely, several months.

                    In my understanding, "soft power" is any non-military one - and what you mentioned, but also political corruption, propaganda, the cultivation of an active internal anti-state force, etc. etc.
                    In 1917, the main business partner of Lenin in the coup d'etat was the Germans, they had the goal of bringing Russia out of the war, and they achieved this ... The Entente was quite happy with the "Provisional Government" ...

                    In the 90s, they bought oil from us, bought gas, gave loans, sent humanitarian aid, and tried equipment.

                    - this is just not necessary ... Oil and gas, and a lot of other things they bought BEFORE, and AFTER the 90s, and will be for a long time, because they need it from us. And everything else in the 90s was in order not to buy all this, but just to TAKE away as a result ... It did not work out, thank God ...
                    And the so-called "humanitarian aid" - it was something like a ration in a concentration camp - first they would put a person in there, and then they would give a hawk so that they would not die right away or rebel, but would also work, this is such a humanitarian component ... you see, they themselves have managed from what they have done. And they quickly realized that if in a huge country with a huge number of weapons, including nuclear weapons, everything suddenly goes to hell, famine begins, etc., then it will be unpleasant for everyone in general, and for the West in particular ...

                      Still, in the classical sense, "soft power" implies the voluntariness of actions, based on sympathy and attractiveness. Hard power implies compulsion against will. So hard power is everything you listed, not just military power.
                      In February 17, Lenin and his Bolsheviks were nobody and there was no way to call them. In October 17, it is also not necessary to overestimate the role of the Bolsheviks, and even more so of German money, in those days power was lying on the street and Lenin picked it up. And in fact, Germany in those years was not the "West", but opposed it.

    Western analysts predicted a complete defeat of Britain in the war with Russia

    To delirium!
    Why on earth would Britain go to war with Russia?
    How can such a "war" be waged technically?
