Any ballistic missile fired by Iran at London would be shot down, signals Cabinet minister
Communities Secretary Steve Reed says the UK has systems in place to protect the capital after Iran fired missiles towards a UK-US base, raising concerns over their potential reach
UK may have to rely on US if Iran targets London, experts warn
After Iran target a US-UK airbase over 2,500 miles away, defence experts are concerned over the regime's offensive capabilities
Either way there could be yet another panic about toilet paper.
I don't really believe in anti-missile missiles, in the sense that (i) their success rate will probably turn out to be much lower than claimed, and (ii) they are so expensive that it's likely that your enemy will find it cheaper to build new missiles than you will to produce anti-missile missiles.
ReplyDeletedearieme - yes, from the outside it's impossible to know how much military hardware performance is hype and whether cost makes it worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteYet none of them are concerned about our gov't supplying missiles/technology to strike Russia (via ukraine)! Don't poke the bear!
ReplyDeleteIan - I agree, supplying missiles and technology never seemed like realpolitik - acting in UK interests only.
ReplyDeleteGiven how fast ballistic missiles travel, any toilet paper shortage will be brief.
ReplyDeletedecnine - good point, and in the affected area there would be a toilet shortage too.
ReplyDeleteFirst the immigrants cross all of Europe to get to London, then the missiles do it
ReplyDeleteBucko - what next we wonder? They say bad things come in threes.
