The UK continues to delude itself that it has the resources and equipment to be a great military power. It's a fantasy.
In 2009, the UK's #MOD told the #DefenceSelectCommittee that it could sustain readiness of at least 4 #Type45 #destroyers and usually 5, despite cutting the class from 12 ships to 6. The Committee was very doubtful.
In March 2026, #HMSDragon was the only Type45 available for service in Cyprus in the #IranWar.
The UK's military fantasies are out of date.
