What has not been made clear and I am not aware of is:
Does MOD Civil Servants pay come out of the overall MOD budget.
This extract makes me think it does:
The MoD said the bonuses would average less than £1,000 this year and did not affect the budget for equipment.
A spokesman said: "These pay awards are met from within salary budget and have no impact on the operational or equipment budget.
If it is so and their pay does come from the MOD budget, it smells of the answer we are always given about whose budget it comes from, however at the end of the day the budget is MOD and if you are paying millions of pounds in bonuses, somewhere else has to give up something in return.

Maybe they get bonuses for how much money they can save!!
