The UK is lagging behind other European countries in public understanding of the threat posed by Russia, the head of the British military Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton tells the FT.
Knighton said Britain needed to “catch up with our European allies”, including those geographically closer to Russia who felt the proximity of its aggression and the war in Ukraine more acutely.

Knighton said Britain needed to “catch up with our European allies”, including those geographically closer to Russia who felt the proximity of its aggression and the war in Ukraine more acutely.
“One of the things that’s imperative is that we are able to hold back [Russian] submarines so that they are not able to target or to threaten shipping in wartime,” Knighton said.“

“By making that secure, we’re also keeping the east coast of the US secure,” Knighton said.
TBH, Trump’s belligerent & aggressive attitude to 🇪🇺 & 🇬🇧 & his palling up to 🇷🇺 shld mean 🇺🇸 can look after its own.
…“The stronger we are, the more likely we are to be able to deter Russia from testing us.”

“The UK is lagging behind other European countries in understanding the threat posed by Russia, the head of the British military has warned”
Interesting, I always felt that Britain - at least the political class - was more aware of the Russian threat than many Europeans. Also, much earlier.

Knighton is stating openly what others avoid saying. Decades of trimming the military and telling the public the threat was gone left Britain with both a capability gap and a comprehension gap. The rebuild has to cover both.
