British media reported that the British Ministry of Defense will reduce the number of its military forces and develop the equipment and capabilities of military personnel.
The "BBC" quoted British Defense Minister Ben Wallace as saying that his country "will reduce the number of British armed forces from 76,500 currently to 72,500 by the year 2025, as part of the government's plan to modernize British military capabilities aimed at adapting them to future threats."
Wallace pointed out that "the plan constitutes an evolution in the massive mobilization towards the speed of the information age, readiness, and related matters to face future threats," criticizing "previous reforms that left the forces overstretched and poorly equipped."
"In return, investments in technology such as drones will be enhanced, as well as in information wars or in space, which will receive 6.6 billion pounds in financing over four years to set up a satellite network for surveillance and reconnaissance, and the Ministry of Defense intends to own more ships and submarines, he stressed.
