British Army troops and vehicles have departed to Poland to join in the largest Nato exercise since the Cold War.

Armoured vehicles belonging to 7 Light Mechanised Brigade, known as ‘The Desert Rats’, alongside Land Rovers, tractors and support vehicles were loaded into a 23,000-tonne cargo vessel, MV Anvil Point, near Southampton on Tuesday.

Around 600 vehicles will sail from the UK, and 1,500 service personnel will fly out to join the Nato exercise, Steadfast Defender, in a large-scale demonstration of the bloc’s unity and capability.

The departure comes as HMS Prince of Wales, which is leading the military maritime mission, set sail for near Norway on Monday.

The British warship will be at the centre of Nato exercises involving more than 20,000 UK military personnel across Scandinavia and northern Europe.

Commodore James Blackmore, commander of the UK Carrier Strike Group leading the HMS Prince of Wales, said on Monday: “The UK has an unwavering commitment to Nato and collective deterrence and defence of the Euro-Atlantic region.

“There is no better demonstration of that than HMS Prince of Wales being at the heart of the upcoming Nato maritime exercises, the largest in over 40 years.”
