UK pledges ‘generational’ leap in defense spending, industry to go on ‘war footing’

“At first look, this isn’t really a coherent ‘package’ for a particular force, but it is broad, and can probably be seen as a spur to others [to supply more equipment],” said Matthew Savill, military sciences director at the Royal United Services Institute, a London based defense think tank. “The air defence missiles, for example, could be more Starstreak or converted air-to-air missiles (as the UK has provided previously). They complement rather than replace larger systems, where Ukraine wants to have a range of options to preserve Patriot for other targets, rather than expend it on smaller or slower moving targets where a smaller defence missile makes more sense.”
