British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a significant military spending increase, committing 3% of GDP to defense by 2034, totaling over £10 billion annually. This follows a broader European push to bolster defense sectors amid concerns of a potential large-scale Russian conflict. The UK's new strategy includes £3 billion for military upgrades, long-range weapons procurement, and munitions factory investment, creating 1,800 jobs. It also proposes underwater surveillance and a volunteer home guard to protect infrastructure.
