UK Invests In Drones Amid Rising Global Threats
The UK has announced a new defense plan that prioritizes the development and deployment of drones and autonomous systems. The plan aims to increase military spending to NATO’s target of 3.5% of GDP by 2035, in response to rising global threats, particularly from Russia. The UK military seeks to reverse years of decline and modernize its capabilities, with a focus on hybrid vessels and drone systems. The plan has been welcomed by some, but criticized by others as being too little, too late. This development was reported by the Associated Press.
