BBC News Published image copyrightPA Media The Army is likely to find itself "outgunned" in any conflict with Russian forces, MPs have warned. In a damning report, the Commons Defence Committee described efforts to modernise the Army's fleet of Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFV) as "woeful". The ageing and depleted fleet puts the Army at "serious risk" of being outmatched by adversaries, it states. The Ministry of Defence has promised "an upgraded, digitised and networked armoured force to meet future threats". In the report - entitled Obsolescent and Outgunned - the committee highlighted the "bureaucratic procrastination" and "general ineptitude" which had "bedevilled" attempts to re-equip the Army over the past two decades.
