http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1896098/british-military-spend-gbp650-million-cyber-warfare By Lawrence Latif The Inquirer Nov 12 2010 THE GLORIOUS British military that was chased out of Basra in Iraq and is likely to advance to the rear out of Afghanistan for about the fifth time in the last 200 years has apparently decided to spend £650 million on developing its cyber warfare capabilities. At least that won't require it to close with an enemy force and actually fight, or perhaps, in order to be effective, maybe it will. Aside from defensive capabilities, Politics.co.uk has learned the military will look at deploying cyber warfare techniques in an offensive manner. This follows from armed forces minister Nick Harvey saying, "actions in cyberspace form part of the battlefield rather than being separate to it". Harvey added that physical capabilities, presumably referring to old fashioned infantry and artillery "will never be replaced" and that cyber warfare capabilities will integrate with more traditional forms of warfare. At present the Ministry of Defense (MoD) refuses to acknowledge it is developing any cyber warfare capabilities.
