Britain's defence review has grand ambition. Now it needs the money
Britain's defence review seeks more funding to transform armed forces for war readiness. With ambitions to spend 3% of GDP by 2034 due to escalating threats, recommendations include building 12 new attack submarines. The review warns of immediate threats from Russia, persistent challenges from China, and regional disruption from Iran and North Korea. The need for a revolutionary military transformation to address new threats and vulnerabilities is emphasized in the review, marking a significant change in UK defence strategy.
