Tugendhat defends defence policies amid recruitment woes

Conservative Security Minister Tom Tugendhat defends the government's defence policies amid record-low armed services recruitment.

He highlights substantial investments in nuclear technology and advanced equipment like the DragonFire laser system.

Tugendhat also expresses the commitment to veterans and criticises Labour for lacking similar support.

He underscores the need to enhance recruitment, particularly for the Army, Air Force, and Navy, to ensure national security against threats like those from Vladimir Putin.

US' WW 3 Preps? Trump Sends 3K+ Bombs to Israel as Iran Threatens to Flatten All US Military Bases

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions. #IsraelIran #USWeaponsDeal #GazaOffensive #TrumpReturns #MiddleEastTensions #IDF #HellfireMissiles #USIsraelAlliance #IranStrike #AirForceReady #PentagonDeal #BidenFreeze #MilitaryEscalation #TehranTarget #GazaCover #USMunitions #DefenseContractors #LockheedMartin #Boeing #L3Harris ~ED.346~HT.336~
