More likely to get the designation F-35A+, basically an A with bigger wings and less paperwork needed than a whole new 'D' model!

Strike Brigade different than initialy planned 1 Recc Rgt, 1 Tank Rgt, 2 Mot Bat on Mastiff a bit curious Tanks are not with Mech Bat ? and the 4 Brigades can be more small with 4 Combat Rgts before 5 for the 3 existing Brigades ofc without 16th Air Assault.

According it
For fighter-bombers yet mentionned
Transport Fleet with big cargos will increase from 32 before A-400M deliveries to 44 eventualy 45 ( + 3 A-400Ms ) very good
But Tankers Fleet used for different missions... even if the A-330 MRTT is very capable and more big than VC-10 replaced ( but have replaced also the big Tristar ) is insufficient, 14 but only 9 in service have replaced 20+ ...
To see if the 5 for a Surge used in peace time for others tasks can be quickly recovered by RAF from Civil operators which use them for transport passengers, i precise they are not modified with extra tanks for refueling mission don' t need big aircrafts, only modified for transport passengers i think.
Same problem in others Europeans coutries especialy France 12 replace 19 KC-135, A-310/340 ...!
The more big Tanker is the KC-10 with 160t of fuel total !!! Tristar 136 t, A-330MRTT 111 t others in general 70 - 95 t Russian going for build but only 2 Il-96-400TZ with 116 t.
And RAF recover ASW MPAs as RN CVs and fighters a good point...

the single most important sentence according to me: "On top of the estimated £31 billion ($38 billion) cost of the program out to 2035, the MoD has also set aside a £10 billion ($12 billion) contingency fund in case of cost overruns."
