Why? Go on, please explain why the UK's military requirements have suddenly changed. Or do you want to carry on spouting more drivel?
Which part - the contracts maybe not being announced, or it no longer mattering?

If the former, it is because platforms such as the P-8, F-35, Protector, AH-64E etc, are procured in dollars, and with the pound taking a tumble it is doubtful that the SDSR is still affordable (if it ever was). Also, the planning assumptions contained within the review are now up in the air - there might not even be a UK for long, after this.

If the latter, that was more of a personal sentiment - I find it hard to care too much about such matters right now, given the magnitude of what's just happened.

Or do you want to carry on spouting more drivel?
Why the hostility? You won, didn't you?
