He is under mounting pressure to reverse defence cuts as he jets to a crunch meeting in Madrid.

The Prime Minister is due to land in the Spanish capital this evening for key talks with allies following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Tories are axing 9,000 soldiers and a third of the Army’s main battle tanks - despite growing aggression from Moscow.

The cuts to numbers of British main battle tanks were announced a year ago - nine months before Kremlin troops invaded Ukraine in February.

An £800million deal was agreed to supply the Army with 148 upgraded Challenger 3 tanks.

But the overall number of tanks will be cut from 227.

In an exclusive Mirror interview, Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey called on Mr Johnson to halt the cuts to the UK’s military in light of Vladimir Putin ’s assault on Ukraine.

“When you see, as we have done, the case against such cuts being reinforced by the new threats to Britain and to European security for the next decade from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it beggars belief that the Government hasn’t been ready to rethink its plans,” he said.

The MoD has always insisted the UK can meet its NATO commitments, and point out it is one of the few members to exceed the target of spending 2% of GDP on the military.

Two years ago the Government announced a four-year, £16.5billion surge in defence spending.The MoD has always insisted the UK can meet its NATO commitments, and point out it is one of the few members to exceed the target of spending 2% of GDP on the military.
