The United Kingdom allocates $ 3.3 billion to replenish weapons

The British army has handed hundreds of thousands of ammunition and missiles to Ukraine, so the warehouses need to be replenished. The Defense Ministry is ready to allocate billions of pounds. The UK Ministry of Defense plans to increase the cost of replenishing weapons in accordance with the new plan, which should be published on July 18. About it reports Defense News.

The Defense Office updates a plan for reforming the Strategy for Security and Defense Policy through a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. It pays special attention to increasing the cost of replenishing weapons. After the Cold War, the United Kingdom insufficiently allocated money for weapons, and after the supply of Ukraine's assistance, the issue of replenishment of stocks arose. There are currently no specifics about where money will be spent.

In July, the Defense Ministry has already concluded a contract with BAE Systems to make 155 mm ammunition by 400 million pounds. The NLAW PTRC reserves, which have been transferred to Ukraine, are also replenished. The new plan stipulates that the United Kingdom will also increase investments in the stability and readiness of its ammunition infrastructure, including warehouses. In addition, the British plan to form a global response forces, but without details about their goals.
