Support resistance with collaborator and some ammunition (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rally round

'support' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'resistance with collaborator and some ammunition' is the wordplay.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'collaborator' becomes 'ally'.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'some ammunition' becomes 'round' (round is a kind of ammunition).
'r'+'ally'+'round'='RALLY ROUND'

(Other definitions for rally round that I've seen before include "Pick up" , "Offer support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
