Ben Wallace, in the Telegraph today denied plans, reported in the Sunday Times, to cut the Army from 74,000 to 55,000. Meanwhile stories circulate about airbases being closed and Dominic Cummings, once he's got his new glasses or contact lens or whatever, may be turned loose on the Defence review. He's keen to take funds from the conventional forces, such as is left, and spend it on cyber, space and AI. Standby for plenty of yatter about re-balancing concentrating on the new threats etc.
When will the politicians and bean counters understand, cyber, AI and forages into space defence isn't replacing the Cavalryman with the Tank, its dismissing the Tank because we've got an enigma machine.
