The UK is economically pretty dead so im not very surprised that their navy isn't much better than Russia's. Like fucking Poland is out competing the UK's economy and if you remove London it's economically on the level of the worst state in the US.

Eh that's not the issue here. Old Harpoon missile was phased out last year. Before planned replacement from Sweden was available. The "scandal" is people not planning ahead to cover that gap.
New missiles built in Sweden are already on at least one of these particular boats. And another UK designed cruise missile is in the works. So in the meantime, the UK is running attack flights instead.
It's not really the L tankie boy was trying for with this post. I get for those people it's difficult to understand having overlapping layers of capability.
Europe can't even produce basic things like artillery shells it promised Ukraine, but yeah sure overlapping layers of capability.
You dronies are so utterly clueless it's equal parts sad and hilarious. Steel production is shutting down across Europe cause energy prices have shot up through the roof. And Anybody with even a couple of functioning brain cells left can understand that you can't have a functioning military without industry.
Europeans are entirely reliant on US militarily.
Wasting your breath tankie. I don't really care what bullshit you decide to repeat. Hell I'm even cool with idiots like you underestimating.
Have fun watching Russia field T55's. Not have air superiority over a nation with hard any jets. Losing it's navy to a country without any boats.
Europe will be just fine.
It's hilarious that you think UK navy is in any way comparable to Russia.
You may be right considering Russia is losing ships to a country with no navy. But it's like the only big country with a really shit but still existing navy so nothing else to compare it to.
I mean if that's the level of understanding you have of the situation what else is there to say about you. Meanwhile, might want to look at how well the mighty US and UK navy are faring against Yemen. ๐
Why did you add the emoji OP?
Because it eloquently conveys how I feel about the situation.
Smh, unacceptable levels of editorialization! The reader should be left to realize this is hilarious on their own!
