"UK Military's Readiness for High-Intensity War in Doubt, MPs Warn"

A report by UK MPs warns that the country's armed forces are not prepared for high-intensity warfare due to personnel and equipment shortages, with personnel leaving faster than they can be recruited. The report highlights concerns about overstretch, recruitment and retention crisis, and the allocation of defense spending. The Ministry of Defence acknowledges the issues and prioritizes recruitment and retention, but the government is urged to make difficult choices and invest fully in the military to address the readiness challenges.
