Russia has the momentum in Ukraine right now, so is it time for a radical rethink of how we help?
James Heappey, who served four years as Armed Forces Minister, tells Sitrep we should be thinking about putting a training mission into Western Ukraine along with air defence support. Professor Michael Clarke explains the potential risks and benefits of shifting our red-lines.
They also discuss the general election and whether it will mean a shake-up or continuity for defence.
And former RAF Hercules pilot Scottie Bateman shares stories of incredible service across more than half a century by the swiss-army-knife of tactical airlift, and its crews.
