UK Combat Air Strategy
Following the Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson's appearance in front of the Defence Select Committee yesterday, a number of newspapers are reporting the announcement that the UK will launch a Combat Air Strategy to ensure that Britain maintains a world-leading combat air capability. Articles are carried in the Financial Times (P.2) and The Guardian (Online)
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said:
“Since the birth of airpower, British industry has been crucial to maintaining our military’s world-leading position. As we celebrate 100 years of the RAF protecting our skies, it is fitting that we create bold and ambitious plans to help our brave Armed Forces keep us safe in the face of intensifying threats. The Combat Air Strategy will bring together the best of British engineering, skill and design, and deliver a compelling vision for the future of air power.”
