UK Unveils Strategic Defense Overhaul to Counter 'Deadly Quartet' Threats

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has initiated a comprehensive review of the UK's armed forces to address increasing global security threats and to plan for a 2.5% GDP defence spending target. The review, led by Defence Secretary John Healey and a team of experts, will assess current military capabilities and future needs, with findings expected by mid-2025. The initiative aims to bolster the UK's defence capabilities amid concerns over the country's reduced military strength and ongoing international commitments.
