Sophy, if Labour wins the general election in May, what can the Armed Forces (realistically) expect to see in terms of personnel and equipment increase? How many front-line flying Squadrons could the RAF realistically see, from each aircraft discipline? Apart from the new (or relatively new, depending on type) aircraft that have already been planned and ordered (and even delivered), realistically, how many more aircraft could also be implemented in to service? What other aircraft types (such as Gripen, F-15SE, for example) are also being considered for potential service, by Labour, as replacements for the Jaguar force? Again, what would the realistic likely numbers be?
I am asking you this here, because I am yet to see anything interesting with regards to defence, from all of the main parties.
