London: British defence minister John Healey said on Wednesday he would take out of service six military capabilities to make savings of 500 million pounds ($633 million) over five years, which would free up additional funds for the military.
"These will not be the last difficult decisions I will have to make," Healey told parliament.
He said the savings would help Britain's military to "get a grip" on its finances in the short term.
