The only reason we know about this is a FOI request that was accidently responded to with the information that in fact all 99 had been sent to Ukraine,
Talk about bad timing hu?
The UK is COOKED
HOLY MY FUCKING SIDES, found this in the same magazine that is like a british periodical for soldiers

It just keeps getting worse, and all im trying to do is find the part where they talk about the purchase of the RCH 155 (the replacement mobile heavy artillery) so I can get a price and Ive run into A SECOND article about how havving a pussy is a +5 to war fighting skills
