Always interesting to see the amount of people on this sub arguing that the UK shouldn’t defend itself or its allies.
Lol…we aren’t taking part by defending ourselves. We cant afford to replace that shit
The UK is right to defend itself and its interests. But also, the UK doesn’t *really* need to be in the area in the first place…
Glad they shot it down
Does make me wonder, how much did the missile cost vs the drone?
Ah google AI to the rescue, £200,000 for the short range missiles and the Shahad drones cost around £15k.
Oof.
Defence is fine, I don’t see any reason we shouldn’t
Let’s see where it goes
Please please please just let this be defensive, I so don’t want us to be involved in yet another yank Middle Eastern war
