Ministry of Defence to axe 1,200 employees

Cutaway — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 02:54:56 GMT

THE government is to axe a quarter of the military and civilian staff at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) despite being warned the cuts risk leaving it incapable of predicting threats to the UK or its interests worldwide.

The loss of 1,200 of the 4,330 staff will see every branch of the MoD losing posts, with those dealing with threats to the UK and military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan among the worst affected.

The posts being axed include intelligence analysts watching potential threats ...

This book is a very good starting point if you want to learn more about what happens during a knife attack. It is not the ultimate work on this subject, but it offers some sound, basic advise. The information is presented in a clear and factual manner. No flowery descriptions to be found. Perhaps this is a pity, as the book is rather small in the end (about 55 pages).

I have only a couple of issues with this book : First of all, the author sometimes seems to present his views as an absolute ...

Enfield EM-2 Bullpup Rifle

Cutaway — Wed, 28 May 2008 22:34:56 GMT

The 'would have been' service rifle if the SLR wasnt adopted. It is chambered in the .280 calibre which is very similar ballistically to todays 6.8 SPC and size. The weapon is well balanced for a Bullpup layout, and has a reliable dust proof mechanisim. Unfortunatley, this weapon was cancelled due to NATO standardisation of the 7.62x54 round to be used in the-then standard service rifles and also the cost of this platform.
