UK Defence Chief Warns of 'Most Dangerous Period'

Britain's Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, has warned that the UK faces its 'most dangerous period' in decades, with threats from Russia escalating.

He emphasized the urgent need to boost defenses amidst delays in the country's Defence Investment Plan.

MPs have warned that these delays have undermined the UK's credibility and left the country less safe.

Furthermore, the entire fleet of UK attack submarines is reportedly unfit for war and stuck in dock, adding to concerns about the nation's depleted armed forces.
