NATO will demand that Sir Keir Starmer increases Britain's spending on air defence to protect against potential ballistic missile strikes. Military chiefs have warned that Britain could soon be vulnerable to such attacks from anywhere in the world. Concerns have been raised about holes in Britain's missile defences, with military sources stating that the lack of investment in this area is a costly problem that needs to be fixed. Other countries, such as the US and Israel, have spent billions of pounds developing their own defensive shield against ballistic missiles.
