Britain’s military is to get an £80 billion upgrade as the Government announces a modernisation drive this month to get the Armed Forces ready for the wars of the future.
The Telegraph understands that is roughly what will be invested in improving military equipment over the next four years. The total over the next decade could get close to £200 billion.
More than a hundred aging Challenger 2 tanks will get new turrets, guns, sensors and engines, becoming more deadly in the battlefield, while new frigates are being acquired.
