UK Announces Major Defence Policy Shift: A "Battle-Ready" Nation

The United Kingdom is significantly changing its defense policy. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a new strategic defense review in Glasgow. The main goal is to make the UK a "battle-ready" nation. First, the UK is moving towards a higher state of combat readiness. Second, the UK's actions will strengthen NATO. Third, the UK will accelerate innovation in defense at a wartime pace. This doesn't mean replacing people or hardware, but rather learning lessons from Ukraine's experience. The transformation will create an army that is ten times more lethal by 2035. This policy is intended to address current and future threats, making the UK and its allies safer. The UK's commitment to NATO is paramount, ensuring collective defense.
