Subject: Interesting UK Specific Defence Websites
jimbo55    1/26/2008 6:56:17 PM
Besides this discussion forum of course, there are some useful and interesting sites out there for UK specific information, resources and discussion etc http://www.defenceoftherealm.com http://www.arrse.co.uk http://www.armedforces.co.uk http://www.forcesreunited.org.uk/forum/default.asp http://www.thinkdefence.co.uk Have been reading strategypage for ages but this is my first post. Thought you might be interested as there doesnt seem to be a UK specific topic in the links section of strategypage so hope I am not breaking any forum rules!

That last link contains some of the best UK specific thoughts that I've seen.

Possibly a bit of a BAEsystems bias.

Out of interest flamingknives, are you suggesting that it's directly biased or influenced in some way by BAE? Or something else?

Having read it fully, it suggests scrapping Nimrod, the new carriers and the F35, all with BAE involvement, thats a big chunk of revenue loss for them so I dont think it is biased in the way you think.

On the other hand, they're super-keen on the CTA 40mm, the Typhoon, other BAE surface ships, UAVs and getting rid of things without so much BAE involvement.

I wouldn't say that they were necessarily influenced by BAE, but their focus seems a bit BAE-Centric.

Yes, I agree but the fact is that BAE is a UK company with an established foothold in the UK armed forces so I suppose it is natural for a UK site to suggest buying british. Just been reading the page on the carriers, seems to have whipped up a bit of outrage
