According to the Daily Mail of the United Kingdom on the 12th, due to insufficient defense spending and the provision of a large number of weapons to Ukraine, the British military currently has a serious shortage of manpower, ammunition and weapons and equipment. The British army may run out of ammunition within days or even hours of war. According to the data released by the British government, Britain is the second largest supplier of military support to Ukraine after the United States. In 2022, Britain provided military support worth 2.3 billion pounds (18.8 billion yuan) to Ukraine. In addition, the UK has trained about 10000 Ukrainian soldiers and plans to train another 20000 this year. British Prime Minister Sunak previously announced that he would provide Ukraine with 14 "Challenger 2" main battle tanks and about 30 AS90 self-propelled guns. Britain's current military strength is less than half of that in the early 1980s, and the number of main battle tanks is less than one fifth of that in the early 1980s. In addition, the Daily Telegraph of the United Kingdom reported that the officials of the British Ministry of Defense were considering the possibility of manufacturing weapons and armored vehicles in Ukraine recently, and some senior officials had visited Ukraine and discussed the plan of establishing a joint venture. Russian officials have repeatedly stated that providing weapons to Ukraine will only lead to further escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. (Outlook New Era)
