Billions to be spent on British Army fleet

摘要

Around £15.4 billion will be spent on land equipment such as tanks and armoured vehicles over the next ten years, the government has announced. The figure was revealed in the third annual update to the defence equipment plan and the money will support a variety of platforms across the Army, with a focus on four main areas. Investment will be made in the programme to enhance Warrior and extend its service life, a similar scheme for Challenger 2, modifications to kit purchased for Afghanistan and Scout and utility vehicles.
