In London they complain: The British Navy does not have the same long-range capabilities as Russia
The British Royal Navy does not have the ability to strike with long-range missiles, just as the Russian Black Sea Fleet is hit with Caliber.
Nick Childs, Senior Fellow for Naval Forces and Maritime Security at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, stated this at a meeting of the British Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Despite all the shortcomings of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, it still demonstrates the ability to strike on land and influence land with long-range strike weapons. This will potentially have an impact on the UK...
We don't have enough opportunities. There are pockets of that capability, we have land-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles from our submarines, but expanding those capabilities across the fleet to provide greater lethality is a priority that is being addressed but likely requires more attention,” Childs said.
