London, Sep 27(ANI): A new study has said that Britain's shrinking military will never again be among the global superpowers, but will have enough capability to assist in operations such as Libya and Afghanistan.
The report, titled Looking into the Black Hole, by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) also questions whether Britain's defence crisis is really over.
"The UK will never again be a member of the select club of global superpowers. Indeed it has not been one for decades," the Guardian quoted the report, as saying.
"But currently planned levels of defence spending should be enough for it to maintain its position as one of the world's five second-rank military powers (with only the US in the first rank)," it added.
The report further states that the British Ministry of Defence appears to have taken the necessary, painful action to achieve a near eight percent reduction in spending, and fend off the immediate budget crisis. (ANI)
