Ex UK Def Min admits the armed forces are not able to defend Israel from hypersonic missile attacks Iran, Russia, China cement their lead as the new global military superpowers

 UK Armed Forces  are "not up to defending Israel" from hypersonic missile attacks from Iran, Ben Wallace has said.

By extension, it follows the UK armed forces cannot defend the UK itself from hypersonic missile attacks from Russia or China, including hypersonic nuclear attacks.

The RAF lacks weapons to take out Iranian ballistic missiles and Royal Navy vessels also ill-equipped or lacking manpower,  the former Defence Minister Ben Wallace has said.

This admission begs the question why the Starmer government is so aggressive in advocating the use of Storm Shadow missiles in attacks against Russia when Russia has warned it could trigger a nuclear missile response. This because the Russians do not know if a Storm Shadow missiles is carrying a nuclear warhead or not.

Russia and China have also declared they will coperate in defence as one single bloc.

Both have far superior hypersonic missile technology to anything the US, UK, NATO has to offer.

It looks very much like wars can be won with hypersonic missiles alone in 2024.

They are particularly effective in destroying command and control centres and critical military infrastructure far behind the lines as Iran s  destruction of Mossad s HQ and the IDF s F 35s in the Negev show. 

The Houthis almost destroyed Netanyahu s plane, the Wing of Zion, as it flew back from New York to land at Ben Gurion airport. An Israeli missile managed an interception to save the plane.

King Charles, PrW, the Duke of Kent, and Starmer, GCHQ.MI5, the City need to wrap their minds around the fact they will be first on the target list.

No nuclear bunker can withstanda direct hit by a nuclear hypersonic missile.
