A senior RAF officer has warned that cuts to military aircraft numbers would leave the UK vulnerable to attack.

Air Marshal Timo Anderson, director general of the Military Aviation Authority, addressed MPs in a private talk, and gave a stark assessment on cuts expected to be outlined next week.

The RAF is expected to lose significant numbers of jet fighters in spending cuts of up to 10% over four years.

AM Anderson said it would be harder to combat a 9/11-style attack.

The first part of the review - setting out the strategic context - will be announced on Monday, with the main spending decisions to be set out in a statement to Parliament on Tuesday.

IMO, no way should we have a depleted RAF.  no

We have to be able to defend ourselves. If a 9/11-type thing happened over here, it would be truly tragic. Cry

The 'government' need to stop acting like trumpets and address the real financial issues - like over-paid plonkers in positions of power and other £ wasted on red-tape shite. It's time to be sensible & practical.

The people of the UK deserve better.
