Prepared for War?: Is the UK’s air defence prepared for battle?

The subsequent instalment of Sky News’ Prepared For War? collection seems to be on the UK’s hallowed out air defence.

The RAF has 9 frontline fighter squadrons in contrast with 30 in operation close to the top of the Cold War. In the Navy, solely three of the six destroyers able to capturing down ballistic missiles are in operation.

And on land, solely 4 of the six ground-based air defence methods that may take out jets and missiles are within the UK with two deployed abroad.
