In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled Britain’s new Defence Investment Plan, announcing almost £300 billion in defence spending over the next four years as the country prepares for a changing global security environment. Starmer said the plan will raise annual defence spending to nearly £80 billion by 2029, increase investment in drones, autonomous weapons, AI capabilities and modern military technology, while transforming the UK armed forces for future conflicts. The plan includes more than £5 billion for drone and autonomous systems, a hybrid Royal Navy model, next-generation RAF capabilities and a more lethal army based on lessons from the Ukraine war. The announcement comes as the UK faces pressure from NATO allies to boost defence spending amid concerns over Russia, European security and the future of transatlantic defence cooperation. #ukdefence, #keirstarmer, #ukpolitics, #defencespending, #britisharmy, #
