UK Unveils £5bn Drone-Focused Defence Plan

Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer unveiled a £14.5 billion defence investment plan, with £5 billion earmarked for drones and autonomous systems.

The long-delayed blueprint seeks to modernize the UK's military amid criticism that only £1 billion is new money.

The plan includes six "budget warships" to replace destroyers and a focus on unmanned technology.

It comes as NATO allies pressure the UK to meet defence spending pledges.
