A former Army chief warns that cuts have made our military unfit to fight \u2013 and a joke to threats like Russia.<\/p>\n

Lord Dannatt fears we would now struggle to support the US in conflicts like Afghanistan and Iraq.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And he added of our combat readiness: \u201cThe Russians are laughing at us, the Americans shake their heads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord Dannatt said the Ministry of Defence is being bankrupted by the RAF\u2019s F-35B stealth fighters \u2013 \u00a380million each and costing up to \u00a390,000 an hour to run.<\/p>\n

The costs are now so high that even the US air force is beginning to look for a cheaper combat jet.<\/p>\n

Lord Dannatt, who was Chief of the General Staff from 2006 to 2009, spoke out ahead of a major shake-up of the armed forces called the Integrated Review, to be published on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is the capital cost and the running costs of the F-35B that is the real and ongoing worry.<\/p>\n

“This will skew the Defence\u00a0Budget\u00a0for decades. Who is the loser? Well, I\u2019d say this \u2013 it is the Army.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans to buy 138 F-35Bs are likely to be cut to 48.<\/p>\n

Lord Dannatt also said: \u201cThere is no serious money in the Challenger or Warrior [tank] upgrade programmes, our field artillery has a third of the \u00adcapability of a Russian formation and we\u2019ve no meaningful air \u00addefence against battlefield drones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lord Dannatt added that the cuts posed a risk at a time the US wants a \u201ccapable ally to depend on\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cSo the Russians are laughing at us and the Americans are shaking their heads. What price Global Britain?\u201d<\/p>\n

And defence sources claim the Army could be cut to around 72,000 over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

General Dannatt said: \u201cWhen the Army was at a strength of 101,800 until 2010 we were capable of conducting two operations simultaneously in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“Today, that could not happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, underfunding of the Army\u2019s equipment programme means our capability to field a war-fighting division is between very low and non-existent.\u201d<\/p>\n

An MoD spokesman said: \u201cLast November, the Prime Minister announced the biggest increase to defence spending since the Cold War.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAs threats change our forces must change and they are being redesigned to confront future threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe armed forces will be fully staffed and equipped to confront those threats.<\/p>\n

“But the Integrated Review is not yet published and any such reporting is merely speculation at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
