The final report from the Defence Strategic Review is due to be delivered to the Government early next year.

A smart move IMHO.

So - therefore should we give all our M113s to Ukraine?
Would Ukraine take them all?
I think we have just over 1,000 of them.

We originally purchased over 800 or so of them, Bobby. I have seen the warstock holdings and they are vast.

From memory we had about 1,150 of them.

Do you think Ukraine would like them all?

They'd like almost anything, particularly if it's free...

Yes - I bet Ukraine would like anything we can give them.
I hear that Russia and Ukraine are even removing tanks and artillery from museums
