💨 Abstract

The British government plans to significantly increase defense spending to 2.5% of national income by 2027 and 3% by the early 2030s, aiming to bolster military and cyber defenses in response to global threats, particularly from Russia. This move is part of a strategic defense review led by John Healey, the defense secretary, and is seen as a response to growing tensions and the need to deter potential aggressors. The opposition calls for faster implementation.
