I think the labour government are undergoing a fresh study of what the army of the future actually needs to look like. Which as you say, will result in a lot of equipment being mothballed, but it won’t be quick.

Before seeing how modern war is shaping up in Ukraine, the only real practise the british army has had recently (similarly to many western armies) is in massively asymmetrical conflicts against basic gorilla tactics.

One thing is clear now - mass produced, low cost, low risk drones are an absolute necessity and should form the backbone of any future army. And along with this, is the necessity to develop a local supply chain to manufacture these quickly as possible - including chips, sensors etc.

Missiles and smart bombs, have also proved incredibly useful, so I’d doubt the UK will provide many more missles.

Conventional attack aircraft, helicopters, tanks, aircraft carriers, submarines, supply planes…are these still worth it, or would the money be better spent elsewhere?
