The war in Ukraine completely changed how Europe saw its own
defence, and once against the continent is beginning to scramble to
hastily rearm and modernise its defence industries. The question
being asked by several analysts though, is whether Europe is
rearming for the right war? Whilst the tanks the UK, France and
Germany are fast-tracking are optimal for the battlefields of
Eastern Ukraine, they are of little use for future conflicts in the
jungles of Mali, the foothills of the Balkans or even the beaches
of Taiwan. Is Europe once again preparing to fight the last
war?
