The bomber funding in the EP is in later years than that for CVF, so unlikely to be an either / or issue. Much more likely to put the mockers on FSC or FOAS (whatever it's called now) depending on whether it's a centrally funded (should be) or single-service funded (like last time) project.
I will keep banging on about it - why is no-one challenging the received wisdom that defence spending (%age of GDP or in total, take your pick) should automatically be assumed to fall? The Op Tempo is busier than in living memory, pay is falling in relation to civvy street, kit is wearing out faster, recapitalisation is desperately needed. Obscene amounts of taxpayers money are wasted across government (the MoD is actually among the better departments) and still everyone blindly follows the assumption that the defence budget must fall because.......er, why exactly? McKinsey says so? RAND says so?
The latest infrastructure cuts across all three services are another symptom of this. If not stopped soon, extinction will follow.....
