Armed Forces for an Independent Scotland

If we were fortunate enough to get shot of Scotland then please take Frankie Boyle back with you, along with The Krankies, Suebo, Lorraine Kelly, the freak who does the Hollywood bollocks, Gordon Brown and the rest of them....

So long as you keep Ricky Gervais (about as funny as AIDS), Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Russell Brand and the rest of them - we don't want them to come here and exploit our future land of milk and honey:rolleyes:.

P.S. We are however, willing to lease you Ronnie Corbett for £6 billion per annum.

Right as we're negotiating we'll take Cameron, Cowell we'll both have shot? (anyone you want shot?) along with Morgan. Brand -well he's all stateside now isn't he? Gervais same although he keeps burning his boats the fecking idiot...... and yes we'll take Ronnie. :D
 
Unfortunately the 3rd Foot and Mouth Regiment was disbanded post WW2 in the mid to late-60s after Indian independence and the planned withdrawal from most commitments east of Suez.
 
Good one, KillerT...

...Except I'd prefer Harriers for landbased fighters as they have VSTOL capability and Viggens for interceptors. Sounds downmarket, but Harriers have the bugs worked out of them and can operate from scratch airfields. Makes Scotland (particularly Highlands/Southern Uplands) into Swiss-style nasty for invaders. Good-quality second-line stuff with a nasty punch and modern electronics.

Similarly, I'm for infantry/APC launched AAM and AT missiles/smoothbore cannon/recoilless guns. Certainly mortars. Local regimental depots/arsenals as per the Swedish model.

Sea? I saw a Scottish Navy of a dozen missile- and Oerlikon-armed patrol-boats with two rear-deck logistic/-helicopter carriers and two or three conventional diesel-electrics/AIBs like an advanced Oberon. The Russians loathed the Oberon's stealthy performance. Bases at Loch Ewe, Rosyth and Faslane.

Strategic deterrent? Well, my letter (never posted) to SNP MSP for our area included Silkworm/Tomahawk-type medium-range cruise missiles for sea or ground launch. Warheads Fuel-Air-Explosive and HE Electro-Magnetic-Pulse. But the cost might prevent it.

Just armchair strategy, but I thought you might like it. And, yes, I want the KOSBs and Black Watch as regiments.
