In the Pentagon, the armies that are the highest level combat units include the United States, China, France and the Russian Federation.
The US no longer sees the British Army as a top-tier fighting force, he said. At the second stage, together with Britain, today there are countries such as Germany and Italy.
“You don’t have the first level. It’s hardly the second level,” the American general told Ben Wallace in a conversation with the British Defense Secretary.
According to the Pentagon, London should abandon the policy of reducing military spending. However, it will take a decade to increase the combat capability of the British Ground Forces in any case.
According to Sky News experts, the UK needs to increase its defense budget by at least 3 billion pounds to improve the situation. Now it is 48.6 billion pounds. Also, London should abandon the reduction in the size of the army and soften the rules for the purchase of weapons.
