Russian special forces did have suitcase nukes and I heard an ex-SAS officer claiming they did as well.
Obviously you would be hit by surprise, the RAF would not get off the ground as our units would see to that.
The money would come from taxation. People like Bono would also have their assets seized.
Saxons and Wessexes aren't front line equipment anymore (Saxon is still used by a few battalions, but most have Warrior now). Wessex has been replaced by Puma/Merlin and isn't a front line aircraft anyway, it's a transport helicopter).
How much nuclear fuel for your magic nuclear suitcase do you think anyone could carry, and do you think anyone in their right mind would carry it on their back anyway?
According to Wikipedia, U2 have a combined wealth of £426 million, which will buy you one frigate and maybe a couple of patrol ships if you're lucky. Good luck building a front line fighting force with taxation and confiscated wealth.
What units would make sure the RAF never got off the ground? Your 24 front line aircraft would be detected by radar as soon as they took off and intercepted by Tornados and Typhoons.
