UK to build up to 12 new attack submarines to 'face down Russian aggression'

 

The UK will build up to 12 new nuclear-powered attack submarines in response to rising global threats, the prime minister will announce on Monday as he unveils the government's strategic defence review.

 

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) will also invest £15 billion in its warhead programme, Sir Keir Starmer will say, to ensure Britain is "secure at home and strong abroad".

 

Starmer has called the review a “radical blueprint” and pledged a “wave of investments” in shipbuilding, drone technology and cyber defences.

 

While Defence Secretary John Healey has called plans to boost the UK’s military might a “message to Moscow”, adding that the UK must "act decisively to face down Russian aggression".
