Corbyn will dump it as soon as he gets into no 10. He has other things to spend the money on. He knows you can't afford it, one of the few things he is right about. India, on the other hand, is the second most populous nation on earth, shortly to be the first. It is also a nuclear power and a space power. China's appearance in Sri Lanka has forced them to increase their investment in naval power. They will overtake the UK's 72 ships late next year.

There are no facilities in the UK other than Faslane and Coulport for Trident and the weapons of mass destruction The UK has been running down her military over the last 10-20 years in order to pay for the vanity of aircraft carriers and the nukes - waste of money

Corbyn will never be PM, you really need to lose that fantasy. I suggest looking at India's naval fleet in a little more detail. the number 72 is flattering. Anyways, India should be a strong US/UK ally.

Their number of active ships comes in at 72 also, according to that article. It also refers to the arrival of China into Sri Lanka and the subsequent expansion plans of the Indian Navy.
