Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer outlined a new decade-long defence strategy rooted in a detailed review of the UK's military capabilities. Led by Lord Robertson, the review made 62 recommendations, all of which the government plans to implement. Key aspects include a NATO-first approach, a focus on war-fighting readiness, significant investments in defense infrastructure, and a commitment to create thousands of jobs through modernization and efficiency improvements. Initiatives such as a new Royal Navy hybrid model, an upgraded army, and advances in RAF technology are also emphasized.
The government has committed to a NATO-first defense policy, which is intended to ensure that the UK's military contributions are the largest since NATO's inception in 1949.
The new defense strategy prioritizes a shift towards war-fighting readiness as the primary function of the armed forces, aiming to enhance operational preparedness.
