German defence tech firm to make drones in UK

A German defence technology company, STARK, is set to produce drones in the UK, creating over 100 skilled jobs at a new factory in Swindon, Wiltshire. The move aims to leverage the UK and Germany's technological expertise to shape future battlefields. STARK's expansion heralds the return of defence manufacturing to Swindon, known for its military legacy and previous contributions like the Supermarine Spitfire. This development signifies a significant step in positioning Swindon as a national leader in defense advanced manufacturing, aligning with broader UK-Germany security initiatives.
