"As things stand, the British army would run out of ammunition within a few days if called upon to fight and would take up to 10 years to field a modern warfighting division of some 25,000 to 30,000 troops."

Is this true? What am I missing here. The Brits have no standing Army?

UK’s army is an afterthought. Being island nation, they focus on naval power instead. Such approach worked for them for centuries.

The UK is incredibly unlikely to ever get into another major land war so they’ve been hyper focused on naval power.
