British troops in Afghanistan will replace their combat suits.

The mainland media quoted Xinhua news reports that the British Army changed their clothing to save money.

The report quoted Sunday Express as saying that the British army will replace its combat suit for the first time in 40 years in order to make the British army more suitable for Desert Operations and multiple terrain operations.

The new combat clothing took 20 years to complete, and the use of high-tech materials will help to reduce the harm to soldiers.

It is said that the camouflage part of the combat garment will be delivered to a Chinese manufacturer.

An anonymous official at Whitehall said that the production to Chinese manufacturers was mainly to reduce expenses and save about 23 million pounds (about 246 million yuan) for the British Ministry of defense.

It is understood that a Northern Ireland autonomous region company in 2009 won the 7 color multi terrain camouflage production contract developed by the United States, but the camouflage coat was finally outsourced to Chinese manufacturers, and the United States was extremely unhappy about it.

People's Daily's World Wide Web recently reported that the new military uniform will be made in China. Some British people do not understand it. Some officials even openly expressed their dissatisfaction. Some people also questioned the ability of China's "world factory", calling the quality of the Chinese desert military uniform poor.

"Sunday express" quoted a senior British official as saying: "we are going to travel long distances to produce new materials in Northern Ireland to China to assemble into military uniform and then pport it back to Britain. This is a scandal."
