    Default We have more horses than tanks

    From an observer:
    Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) is now down to just one Regiment with 56 Main Battle Tanks. For the first time since WWII we have more horses than tanks.
    There are two other tank equipped regiments in the British Army, but they are called cavalry regiments and do not have horses for operational use:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...t-9644238.html

    I leave aside the Blues & Royals, the mounted cavalry of the Household Division:


    Well I suppose they could give some Cossacks a surpise if they reach London.
