Add bookmarkIn this podcast, Wing Commander Andrew Brookes of the International Institute of Strategic Studies discusses the implications of the recently predicted U.K. defence cuts; the shortage of battlefield helicopters to support troops in Afghanistan and whether upgrades and retrofits is the solution or should the future medium helicopter programme be advanced; his opinion of the current negotiations on Tranche 3 of the Eurofighter Typhoon Programme; whether the U.K. MoD should proceed with the 2 Aircraft Carriers for the Royal Navy or would the money be better spent elsewhere; and which, if any, major U.K. defence programs may be cut.
