The world is entering a “third nuclear age”, the head of Britain's armed forces has warned.
The world is entering a “third nuclear age”, the head of Britain's armed forces has warned. Admiral Sir Tony Radakin warned Britain is facing threats on multiple fronts, including from Russia, China and the ever-growing proliferation of nuclear weapons.Despite his warning, Admiral Radakin added there is only a “remote chance” Vladimir Putin’s forces would directly attack or invade the UK.
But Sir Tony said the UK's nuclear arsenal is "the one part of our inventory of which Russia is most aware and has more impact on Putin than anything else".It comes after a defence minister claimed the “entire British army” would be wiped out in six months if war broke out with Russia. Al Carns, the veterans minister, who is also a reservist, issued the warning as he spoke of the importance of rebuilding the UK's reserve forces.
