Britain is preparing to fight with Russia, replacing ships with drones

Britain is conducting the largest Saif Sareea military exercise in 17 years in Oman. 5.5 thousand soldiers, 200 armored vehicles, six warships, a landing ship and eight Typhoon fighters will take part in them.True, the British regretfully admit that their Armed Forces have somewhat passed in recent years. For example, in previous similar exercises Saif Sareea at number two, which took place in 2001, armored vehicles were involved in two, and military personnel and warships - four times more. At that time, 66 Challenger 2 tanks took part in the maneuvers, and now only 18.But for the first time, a large number of commercial drones will be used to search for enemy positions. It must be admitted that they are not very good with adaptability and functionality, but this is an extremely low-cost solution. Each such device costs less than a thousand pounds. By the way, last Christmas, such devices were extremely popular as a gift in the British Isles.But the main thing is that at these exercises the British military will train to fight with Russia. Yes, in Oman, the one that is in the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula. The British military proudly note that the equipment involved in the maneuvers is capable of operating at temperatures up to plus 49 degrees Celsius. Whether the same technique can work at minus 49 degrees Celsius, which is more likely in Russia, is not specified.Oh yeah, the squadron of the palace cavalry will play the role of a probable opponent of the British troops. Fortunately, not on horseback, but on lightly armored combat vehicles, which will depict "more powerful Russian T-72 tanks."At the same time, the particular concern of the British army is the fact that Russia is ready to conduct military campaigns in parallel in several regions, as a result of which the UK may face the task of fighting on several fronts at once.But the British Ministry of Defense is not discouraged and is considering the possibility of carrying out massive cyber attacks to turn off the power supply in Russia in the event of its aggressive actions. For example, if Moscow seizes the islands belonging to Estonia or invades Libya. So they declared that they would turn off the light to the Kremlin if Russia showed its aggressive encroachments on sovereign states. No, all of the above is not the script for the Benny Hill Show, the TV series Yes, Mr. Minister, or the absurd sketches of Monty Python, but the real news of recent days and a significant part of the current British political agenda.Nowadays events take a fresh look at the above-mentioned British classics of poisonous satire and black humor of the second half of the twentieth century. Then it seemed that British comedians have a remarkable talent in an exaggeratedly absurd way to ridicule the shortcomings and flaws of their system.Now, however, the suspicion is forming more and more clearly that they didn’t exaggerate very much, and the brand-name surrealism of English humor became a natural defensive reaction to a system where absurdities (not stupidity, not mistakes, not miscalculations, not malicious intent, but full blunder) are piled up against each other until they reach a truly Rabelaisian scale.Until recently, it all remained a part of the inner British cuisine, while the world got separate excesses, blamed on the equally traditional and not devoid of charm English eccentricity.And then, finally, British political culture and life in its entirety poured onto the world stage, and it turned out that Monty Python and Benny Hill were not exaggerating and laughing, but simply writing from nature.By the way, perhaps it is here that the British Defense Ministry should look for the most effective and quite accessible weapon against Russia. If it continues in the same vein, the Russian Armed Forces, together with the Russian hackers, trolls, and GRU agents, will simply begin to massively lose their fighting capacity with laughter.
