This is a pretty big statement to make from someone in his position so I would not dismiss it the way I might if a politician said it.
The new Army chief, General Sir Roly Walker, says Russia would be likely to 'want retribution for the support given to Ukraine'

money and politics have changed the British army and they no longer have equipment/personnel which functions in the modern world .
when you look at their equipment it was good for suppressing a revolt in Kenya or similar where nobody had a armored car or rifle bigger than 303 caliber .
their ferret armored cars has six cyl petrol jag car engines and axles off dump trucks --when nobody had similar or better technology it was fine nobody noticed .
this thinking has lasted and the wartime practice of making a zillion crap bedford lorries as they were going to be blown up any way and if they lasted a year that was enough --this practice and the thinking are suitable for the 1940s only.
today the Russians face the best western technology --abrambs tanks powered by an aircraft turbine kerosene guzzling engine of GALLONS PER MILE -technology and you need a vast shed full of diagnostic equipment and hundreds of highly trained specialists to keep this aircraft/tank bullshit going.
it has been a disaster as has the remainder of the equipment which will only work if the coordinates are inputted by a western army as when they sold the systems to foreign army's they would not relinquish control of them as they could be used against us forces otherwise --so the Russians now know each missile is fired and targeted by troops from the USA as nobody else is permitted the tech to fire them.
the brits do not possess more than one modern aircraft carrier and it has to be towed in an out of port due to its bullshit technology failing on a weekly basis .
it is an embarrassment and they do not possess modern bombers or fighter aircraft capable of taking on the Russians .
England if wise would seek to be a country which maintained a defensive army not a world power as previous technology allowed -- the people of Gaza used stones in slings and they would stab an Israeli when they could -- the Israelis used every technology on earth against them and they did not defeat them .
the Israelis can murder women and children but put them or the British up against Russians REAL TROOPS who are fighting for the survival of Russia.
who would fight paid mercenaries/conscripts taken from the bored and illiterate penniless layabouts of the shopping malls of America where it is admitted most of the recruits come from.
America does not have an army capable of fighting the Russians if you take out the airborne and the marines --the remainder are not an army .
they have polluted the ranks and made a mockery of their armed forces with high ranking transgender officers who brand the army as mentally ill misfits in skirts .
the first you would have to shoot would be your own if you were going to war today.
