Why Japan has turned to the UK for better defence | Sitrep podcast
444British troops could be deployed to Japan – and Japanese troops to the UK – under a historic treaty that’s just been signed at the Tower of London.
On Sitrep, a former Japanese foreign minister explains why her country has turned to the UK to bolster its defence position.
After a year of appeals, Western tanks could soon be headed to Ukraine, led by British Challenger 2s. A former tank regiment commander tells us what the vehicles can do in a war.
And we hear how a Royal Marines mindset can help with that ‘new year, new me’ plan, from someone who turned round the performance of the England men’s football team.
