UK Defense Plan Shifts Away From Ships
Description
Britain’s ambitious warship program is scrapped as defense priorities shift toward drones and Arctic readiness, with a new spending plan totaling just £14.5 billion—far short of the £28 billion target. Despite a last-minute £1 billion boost, critics call it a drop in the ocean, while the UK ranks near the bottom in NATO capability compliance. The outgoing PM will unveil the plan before a major NATO summit, and the new Prime Minister may face pressure to find more funds.
