Britain’s frontline troops are shockingly understrength, the Sunday People has discovered – and former defence chiefs warn that the Army is now too small to counter the threat posed by Russia.
As outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson played at soldiers in front of Ukrainian recruits being trained in the UK, we can reveal that…
- Crucial combat units are thousands of personnel short.
- Almost every infantry, tank and artillery regiment is under strength.
- Armoured units are short of tanks and will be reduced even further.
- The Armed Forces are about to be cut again to their smallest size for 200 years.
