YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJoin Sophy Ridge for Politics Hub as it's announced the UK will scrap five warships, dozens of military helicopters and a fleet of drones to save money despite growing threats from Russia and a war raging in Europe.
John Healey, the defence secretary, announced the dramatic move in parliament on Wednesday, saying it would save up to half a billion pounds over the next five years.
British-made Storm Shadow missiles have been fired into Russian territory by Ukraine for the first time, a source has told Sky News.
Earlier this week, news broke that the US would allow Ukraine to fire long-range ATACMS missiles against Russia - something that it had been hesitant to allow for almost 33 months of war.
