This Government was elected with a mandate to increase the equipment budget in real terms every year, and replace our four nuclear ballistic submarines. We are committed to spending over £160 billion on equipment and equipment support, which includes new strike fighters; surveillance aircraft; hunter killer submarines; two aircraft carriers; and the most advanced armoured vehicles. The Ministry of Defence also invests over £400 million annually in science to access cutting-edge technologies.
