Army General: British too weak for Russian threat

london - The British armed forces are too small and insufficiently equipped to deal with any danger from the Russians. That danger can emerge faster than we think, according to the British army general Nick Carter.

The British army suffers from 'wear and tear', says Carter. 'Britain is getting worse prepared for attacks and threats. The ministry is running out of us due to a lack of investment ', says Carter.

According to Carter, the pressure on the British government to invest extra in the army is increasing due to recent developments. Last week two Russian bombers were intercepted above the North Sea. These were TU-160 Blackjacks that were on their way to Great Britain. They flew in international airspace, but were intercepted for security reasons.
