The UK government is poised to invest billions to achieve 'war-fighting readiness' in response to escalating threats from nuclear powers like Russia and China. This initiative follows the acceptance of all 62 recommendations from the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), which emphasizes the need for enhanced military capabilities, including the construction of 12 new nuclear submarines and six munitions factories. The SDR highlights the inadequacies in current armed forces' readiness, citing poor recruitment, low morale, and insufficient weapon stockpiles. With Russia posing an immediate threat and China being a sophisticated challenge, embracing cutting-edge technologies becomes imperative for the Ministry of Defence.
The threats we face are now more serious and less predictable than at any time since the end of the Cold War, including growing Russian aggression.
The Strategic Defence Review found that the UK's armed forces are not currently equipped to fight modern threats from nuclear powers like Russia and China.
