Glasgow: Britain has announced that it will build 12 new invading submarines because it has launched an important defensive review on Monday to move the country to “preparation to fight” in the face of “Russian aggression” and the changing nature of conflict.
Prime Minister Kerry Starr warned that “the danger we now poses is more serious, more quick and unexpected than any time after the Cold War,” when he reviewed in Glasgow.
“We have to face war in Europe, new nuclear risks, daily cyber attacks, increase Russian aggression in our waters, endanger our heavens,” he added. The Strategic Defense Review, which assesses and recommends the threats posed by the UK, said the UK is entering a “new era of danger”.
As a result, the star said that his government aims to present three “fundamental changes”. “First of all, we are moving towards a fighting preparation as the main purpose of our armed forces,” he said.
He added, “Every part of society, every citizen of this country has to play the role, because we have to acknowledge that matters have changed in today’s world. If you want, the front line is here.”
Secondly, the Prime Minister insisted that Britain’s defense policy “NATO will always be already”, and that the UK will eventually “innovate and accelerate at the time of war so that we can meet the dangers of today and tomorrow.”
Britain is racing despite Russia’s threat, and is feared that US President Donald Trump will no longer help protect Europe. The star said he would serve as a “map for strength and security for decades to come,” the star said in view of the growing use of drones and artificial intelligence.
His government promised to increase defense spending by 2.5 percent of the GDP by 2027 in the “largest permanent increase in defense spending after the end of the Cold War” in February.
And despite the budget barriers, it aims to increase the costs in the next parliamentary period in 2029 to three percent. The Labor Government has said it will reduce Britain’s overseas aid to assist in the spending fund.
Based on review recommendations, under the leadership of former NATO Secretary -General George Robertson, the government said on Sunday that it would increase storage and weapons production capacity, which could be scaled when needed.
This includes 1.5 billion ($ 2 billion) to build “at least six weapons and energy factories”, which purchase 7,000 domestic long -range weapons, and spend $ 6 billion on weapons during the current parliamentary period.
The government also said at the end of Sunday that it would build 12 new invading submarines as part of its Akos military alliance with Australia and the United States. Currently the UK is ready to operate seven nuclear -powered class attack submarines, which will be replaced by 12 ox submarines from the late 2030s.
The Ministry of Defense also said it would invest $ 15 billion in its nuclear warhead program, and last week promised $ 1 billion to help the battlefield to help in the battlefield.
The last such defense review was initiated by the previous conservative government in 2021, and was revised in 2023 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Launching a new review, Robertson said it would call him a “deadly square” to deal with the threats from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
But in an optical article for the Sun newspaper, the star did not mention China, while warning that “the Kremlin is working with its Cronney in Iran and North Korea.” The soft statements on China are in line with the worker’s government’s efforts to melt relations with Beijing, which has reached new places under the conservative government of former Prime Minister Rishi Sink. According to the Guardian, Russia describes Russia as a “instant and suppressed” threat, but China has been described as “sophisticated and permanent challenge”.
