That is on top of the $900 million being spent on new helicopters, $400 million on modernising the P3 Orion patrol aircraft and the estimated $330 million to be spent on Ohakea air base.

Despite the NZDF being very active around the globe I cant see the NZ government funding everything that the NZ military is requesting. I cant see the NZ government not getting away with buying the new trucks but upgrades to the P3 Orion and the replacement for the C-130 may be brushed to one side.

I will just have to wait and see what happens.
