World's fifth-largest economy, British army can't afford to train
The British Army has been ordered to halt major "non-essential" combat training exercises to plug an immediate £30 million budget shortfall. Despite being the world's fifth-largest economy, financial constraints have forced the cancellation of live-fire wargames involving Challenger 2 tanks and Apache helicopters. Military insiders label the freeze "devastating" for troop readiness, raising urgent questions about the UK’s global combat capability.
