UK DEPLOYS MISSILES ON RUSSIAS BORDER

[Gil Boyd]

From the Mail on Sunday November the 13th 2016 "so it must be true"!!!

Britain is to deploy batteries of long range missiles on Russias border for the first time since the Cold War.
The guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS)will be moved to Estonia next year, amid fears Russian President Vladimir Putin could be planning to invade.
About 800 British Troops will be stationed there as part of a 15 Nation NATO forcedefending the Baltic States.
Among that number will be 25 Royal Artillery soldiers tasked with operating the GMLRS, which can fire up to a dozen 200Ib warheads per minute with a range of up to 45 miles.
The vehicle mounted rocket system will be complemented by British drones, RAF Typhoon jets and Challenger 2 tanks.

Sorry for my cynicsm this time in the morning, but why have secrets, they should have named the soldiers and given out their addresses and bank details too, whilst they were at it.
Who writes this stuff, or more importantly who feeds them the facts?
Well.............. just got the Challengers all back from Germany at great cost, for them to go straight back, because those that are supposedly in the know in the Ministry of Defence said the threat from Russia had deminished.
