Lt Gen Mike Elviss, commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), has issued a stark warning about the increasing lethality of the Russian military as the conflict in Ukraine continues. He described Putin's forces as a 'formidable foe' that has become 'significantly more lethal' since the invasion began. Elviss expressed concern that the UK and NATO are currently ill-equipped to handle a potential Russian incursion, although he noted that Russia is not yet positioned to launch such an attack. He revealed that the UK's drone stockpile could be exhausted in under a week in a conflict scenario. To address modern warfare challenges, Elviss has relocated military planners to a secret bunker within disused London Underground tunnels, aiming to create a blast-proof command center. He emphasized the necessity of high-tech adaptations, including artificial intelligence in military decision-making. Despite the urgent threats posed by Russia, Elviss pointed out that the UK spends only 2.6% of its GDP on defense, compared to Poland's 4.48%. He cautioned that the political case for increased defense spending has yet to gain traction among the British public.
