British military leaders urge Starmer to invest in advanced weapons for national defense

British military leaders have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to invest in a "national arsenal" of advanced weapons to strengthen the UK's defense against potential threats from Russia. They emphasized the need for increased funding in unmanned systems and drones. Starmer has committed to sending British troops to Ukraine to support peace efforts and security guarantees. He described the current situation as a critical moment for Europe and the UK’s role in defense. Despite these developments, Starmer has not agreed to increase military spending beyond the planned 2.5% of GDP. He aims to maintain a commitment of £3 billion annually to support Ukraine until 2030.
