Sitrep meets Ukrainian troops who invaded Russia

Sitrep’s Simon Newton is back from the frontline of Ukraine’s war with Russia.  He shares stories from troops who led the push into Kursk,  how British Challenger 2 tanks are used (and extremely well hidden), and the challenges of even reaching the frontline.

The UK led Joint Expeditionary Force is a British defence success, according to a new study.  But the author Ed Arnold joins us to explain why the JEF is facing a use-it-or-lose-it moment that threatens the credibility of the force.

And Mike explains how military opportunism led to the downfall of Syria’s regime, why Israel has seized the same window of opportunity to launch a third major military campaign, and the West’s worries about the Islamic State terror group also seizing the moment.
