The government has unveiled more money for the military, but much of it is earmarked for hardware such as nuclear-powered submarines.

"So this is really significant," Admiral Radakin said."It builds on the previous investment that the government made in 2020-2021. It builds on the recognition that we need to adjust to face the state threats that we're now seeing."

Much of the remainder - £1.9bn - will be spent on replenishing and growing stockpiles of ammunition, emptied by the UK giving many of its weapons to Ukraine.
