Gen. Dannatt slams military aid to Kiev
The former head of British army has dismissed as immoral London’s decision to hand over dozens of its redundant military armour vehicles to Ukraine government.
General Sir Richard Dannat said the Saxon armoured vehicles, which the Ukrainian military are planning to convert for use in their fight against pro-Russian forces are QUOTE “quite useless”.
Gen Sir Richard, who acted as David Cameron’s defence adviser between November 2009 and the general election in May 2010, said the vehicles should not have been transferred to the Ukrainians in the first place, as they were not fit for purpose.
He told The Telegraph that:”I took these out of service by the UK Army in 2005/6 as completely unsuitable for current operations, so I find it incredible that they are being sold/gifted to Ukraine. I am incensed by the thought we are supplying, even via a 3rd party, SAXON APCs to the hapless Ukrainians.”
Ukrainian sources said that 20 Saxons have been delivered to Ukraine, with another 55 expected to arrive soon.
