Following last year’s series about a theoretical attack on the UK by Russia – and how vulnerable Britain would be were the scenario real (Soldier, July) – Deborah Haynes and co return to dissect the financial and political decisions that led to the current state of play.
Across two new episodes, almost every defence secretary since the end of the Cold War plus former top brass discuss, with seemingly newfound honesty, how decades of cuts have critically undermined the armed forces.
Procurement mistakes, the failure to appreciate the threat posed by Russia in time – it’s frustrating in the extreme. If you weren’t already depressed by January, this may just tip you over the edge.
