Well, that's the budget for the next five years spent...

Five?.....probably ten at least

Wait, why RAF has F35B, won't they be used by the RN?

Both RAF and RN

The Lightning II will equip the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force with a highly advanced multi-role stealth combat aircraft, operating from both our new Queen Elizabeth class carriers and land bases.
