Louise Sandher-Jones: “Project Brakestop shows what happens when we combine that commitment with the talent and ingenuity of British industry.”

Certainly when I left the Army and found out I was in the strategic reserve, I just filed it away and never thought about it again.

We are definitely no longer in that space - the strategic reserve is a real commitment for those who are in it, and they will be exercised as part of our exercise programme next year.

The UK stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine, and we will continue to provide the support it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression.

This is a clear demonstration that Britain has the industrial strength, innovation and determination to meet the challenges of modern warfare and support our allies.
