Tobias Ellwood said the UK is no longer able to defend its skies from an aggressor due to drastic cuts
. Over the next two years, the MoD expects a further 15 F-35s to be delivered to the armed forces.
While the MoD insisted that the A400M and Voyager offer a greater capability than the Hercules, Mr Ellwood claims the aircraft is not suitable for special forces operations in the combat arena. The committee concludes that the UK’s reduced air fleet will leave the country unable to meet our commitments to Nato “as well as our own sovereign needs”.
The inquiry found that the RAF has prioritised “quality at the expense of quantity”, leaving the UK with a fleet of combat aircraft that are “high-spec and expensive yet alarmingly low in number”.
