The Russian army can outgun British troops on the battlefield after military advances by the Kremlin, a leaked report suggests. The assessment by the British army’s warfare branch, seen by the Times, warned that Russian weapons, including rocket launchers and air defence systems, were more powerful than their British equivalents. The publication was produced in March under the direction of Gen Sir Nick Carter, the head of the army, the newspaper said. It set out how the UK could counter Russia’s new hybrid strategy of electronic warfare, drones, propaganda and artillery. It is understood the report is based on one training exercise carried out in Ukraine.
