Two architects of the Strategic Defence Review have lifted the lid on how they’re working on the plan for the future of our Armed Forces.
But when they tell MP’s one aim is to get it “as least wrong as possible” on predicting future conflicts, does that inspire confidence? Kate and Mike are joined by Sitrep’s Sian Grzeszczyk Melbourne to analyse what’s been revealed, and what is still shrouded in secrecy.
Syria’s civil war appeared dormant for years, but has suddenly reignited. Last time it led to the UK’s Operation Shader against jihadist terrorists, so are we going to have to rethink the ending of that operation?
