Armoured vehicles, landing craft.. EU to sign off £5BN Euro-Army plan | World | News | Express.co.uk: "European Union officials insist the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) proposals fall well short of creating a European army.

But the 15 defence-related projects to be signed off next Monday include proposals for armoured vehicles, amphibious assault vehicles and light tactical vehicles as well as submarine drones.

There are also plans for enhanced joint training programmes, a European medical command and projects relating to logistics such as the streamlining of cross-border military transport procedures.

A cyber security upgrade and introduction of cyber rapid reaction units also stand out on the list of items to be approved."
