Readers of the British newspaper The Times commented on the words of the country's Defense Minister Ben Wallace that the army should be ready to wage war in the Arctic because of Russia's "activity" in the region.
According to the politician, the military must learn to survive at temperatures up to minus 40 degrees.
Many criticized the head of the Defense Ministry for escalating the situation.
As usual, we still think that Great Britain is a great military power. Putin probably tears his stomach with laughter—" the reader noted.
"Do we have to ask for trouble?", "I wonder if the Ministry of Defense will send diversity commissioners to the front line so that no one confuses anyone's pronouns?", others added.
Some even offered to recruit Britons from the northern part of the country into the army, as they are the most prepared, and also have "all the necessary uniforms."
Earlier it was reported that the British Army adopted the new Sky Sabre air defense system. In this way, Britain intends to protect itself from the threats posed by Russian fighters. According to the Ministry of Defense, the new air defense system replaced the Rapier missiles used since the 1970s, says New.ru .
