Defence Secretary John Healey was granted an extra Â3bn in the Budget , not a transformative amount of cash.

The government will not say when they expect to hit the 2.5% defence spending target.

The UK has committed nearly Â8 billion to Ukraine - air defence missiles, drones, cruise missiles, tanks and ships.

A former minister said: âforget your big new fantasy regiment â we can make what we have more lethalâ A source said, âa precondition for Trump to take European defence seriously is for Europe to take its own defence seriously.

Eager to be seen as the leader in Nato , the UK is taking steps to boost defence cooperation.
