According to RCO News Agency, in an article referring to the urge efforts of European couries to increase their military capabilities, the British media reported that the British governme has done little in this regard and is not ready for war with Russia.
In Poland, Finland and the Baltic states, bulldozers and excavators are rapidly building defensive fortifications, including digging ai-tank ditches and creating concrete trenches, according to The Independe. These couries are also considering plaing ai-personnel mines.
In addition, Poland has allocated 2.5 billion euros to strengthen its border defense system, including the construction of an air defense system similar to the “Iron Dome” that is supposed to protect the coury’s eastern borders against possible Russian attacks.
In a meeting with European leaders in Warsaw in May, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Europe is in a dangerous situation: “It is necessary to create an iron dome to deal with missiles and drones. “There is no reason why Europe should not have a missile defense system.”
In this defense project, the Polish governme iends to take advaage of physical ai-tank barriers, create shelters, and have ai-drone systems based on artificial ielligence in order to achieve early detection of threats.
According to this report, Poland currely spends 37 billion euros, equivale to 4.7% of its GDP, on defense. The Baltic couries have allocated hundreds of millions of euros to strengthen their defense lines to prepare for combined warfare tactics, and Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have a large defense project in hand that will begin in 2025.

In many parts of northern Europe, at a rate not seen since World War II, more than a billion euros have been devoted to the rapid construction of new munitions factories, especially for the production of 155mm cannonballs.
Poiing out that European leaders believe that Russia will expand its attacks to the Baltic couries, Finland or even Poland, the English media poied to the statemes of some experts who believe that this will happen in the next 3 to 5 years. At least, it will take 28 to 30 mohs to produce a fighter, 18 to 24 mohs to produce a tank, and 30 mohs to build a frigate.
In addition to these urge measures in Europe, the couries of the green coine are also increasing their military budgets. France has increased its defense budget in the last 8 years and it is expected to surpass the UK by 2027.

Double your defense. Sweden, Norway and Denmark are also increasing their defense budgets.
Even Germany, as the first coury to rapidly reduce its defense budget after the Cold War, doubled its military budget after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. With the start of the Ukraine war, defense spending in Germany has passed a turning poi, and Prime Minister Olaf Schultz has pledged to make an immediate investme of 100 billion euros to eliminate defense deficits.
From February 2022 to today, Berlin has spe around 30-40 billion euros to buy American F-35 fighter jets and more than 60 billion euros to increase its ammunition and missiles.
NATO exercise
Referring to the increase in defense budgets among a large part of European couries, the Independe newspaper criticized the British governme’s lack of work in increasing the defense budget.

“Gra Shapps,” the former defense minister of England, said earlier in response to a question about the threat of a missile attack on England that NATO couries are placed between Russia and Britain and will repel such threats.
Poiing out that Britain is defenseless against many types of modern attacks, the Independe poied to the commes of British Army Chief of Staff Tony Radakin, who recely spoke at a defense conference about the need to follow the Nordic and Baltic couries in strengthening defense power and civil preparedness. had emphasized

The British army cannot even field a division of 15,000 men out of its 70,000 men, and the ammunition of this army is only sufficie for a moh of war. On the other hand, from the fleet of 100 British Typhoon fighters, only 20 fighters are ready for operations.
This report states that if one of the NATO members implemes Article 5 of this military alliance, the British governme will not be able to provide military support, and at that time the governme of this coury will not be able to prese economic restrictions as a valid reason for this inability.
At the end of this report, poiing out that the NATO alliance is based on the principle of “an attack on one is an attack on all”, it is emphasized that Britain is severely lacking in defense areas compared to its European neighbors.
