@thesunwarnews: Sailors are being trained to use fire hoses to defend Britain’s nuclear-armed submarines from drone attacks. The high-pressure jets of water are the only “air defence weapon” on the £4billion Vanguard-class subs. #WarNews #Defence #Military

🦈Shark Squadron🦈 :

Well yeah, most submarines lack air defences

SaraSmithhy :

None of our tanks have protection from torpedoes either, just outrageous 😅

KAZ • 11:33 ᯤ̸ 𓈆 1% :

Because it’s unnecessary majority of the time they’re too deep for most drones to target (there’s deep water drones but rare)

E :

At what point does this become just pure misinformation

Josh D :

This is the equivalent of leaking your own football teams lineup a day early

️mason :

well yea it’s meant to be hundreds of feet underwater and invisible(stealth) ?

Lucien LaSlay :

It can just dive? Isn’t that the whole point?

Peepeepoopoo :

Maybe that’s because they are submarines

PizzaHutt :

Rubberchicken :

Erm, hate to be the one to tell you this but it’s not their only defence…..it’s a submarine…..

Kallum :

Why would we publish something to make us look weak

riggynash :

It’s a submarine they don’t worry about those little drones cuh

Xboxguy1201 :

your telling me OUR ONLY NUCLEAR DETERANT HAS NO AA

Richie :

The moon doesn't have a defence against my spud gun either.

nef :

Well I mean it’s not uncommon for a submarine to not be too worried about drones or aircraft

rumteetum :

The submarines main defence is being able to sink

That biker :

Yeah it’s a fucking submarine….

rickydeshaun :

“Submarines lack air defences” love because that’s not their purpose

Alex_Austin14 :

Or hear me out just go under water I’m pretty that’s what they are built for

→©∞py← :

Sh4d0ws_87 :

shutupmanwhyman :

the fire hoses defence in question is regarding the security of the naval base which the submarine is being docked in

JayC2245 :

Because…..

JawnTheBaptist :
