Most servicemen and women are getting a 6% pay rise, twice the rate of inflation. The government says it’s the biggest increase for more than 20 years.

But in real terms pay has been falling for a decade, and satisfaction with it is at a record low. Sitrep talks to the Defence Veterans and People Minister, Alistair Carns, to ask whether it’s really enough, and why accommodation costs are also rising despite numerous problems.

Ukraine appears to have received the first of its long awaited F16 fighter jets. We explain the challenges it faces to put them into action, and how much difference they could eventually make.

And Liz McConaghy tells us why, after loving her seventeen year career on RAF Chinooks, the moment that made her was recovering from an attempt to end her own life. Parts of her story are distressing, but her fightback is also inspiring. Information about support is available at https://forcesnews.com/audiencesupport
