Modernisation has never ever been so crucial to the Indian Air Force (IAF) than it is today. This was amply evident at the 82nd Raising Day at Hindon air base, as the IAF put up a brave face trying to hide its shortcomings. Another year has passed by, urgently reminding the air force of its dwindling numbers of aircraft squadrons. “By 2017, the IAF would have less than the existing 35 fighter squadrons. Our minimum requirement remains 45 squadrons,” said Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha.

Can Russia afford to commit a rising share of its GDP to the armed forces. The defence budget accounts for over 20% of all public spending. A weakening economy, lower energy prices and an ageing society reliant on social welfare programmes will force hard political choice.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article looks at the changing nature of European militaries specifically within the context of the United States’s transformation agenda. The article looks at the key drivers of transformation in European militaries and asks the question to what degree has the American agenda impacted on the way Europe does defence. The article looks at three aspects of transformation across three case studies. The aspects are network enabledness, expeditionary forces and effects based operations. The analysis is applied to the United Kingdom, France and Germany. The findings suggest that local political and bureaucratic conditions have the potential to trump a larger process of force transformation led by the United States.
