'Things Have Changed, Frontline Is Here', Says UK PM Kier Starmer | Russia Plans 'Spiderweb' Revenge

Britain will expand its nuclear-powered attack submarine fleet as part of a defence review to be published on Monday that is designed to prepare the country to fight a modern war and counter the threat from Russia.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, like other European leaders, is racing to rebuild the UK's military capabilities after U.S. President Donald Trump told the continent it needed to take more responsibility for its own security.

Monday's Strategic Defence Review will call for Britain's armed forces to move to a state of "warfighting readiness" and reverse its post-Cold War military decline.

"The moment has arrived to transform how we defend ourselves," Starmer told workers at BAE Systems' Govan shipbuilding site in Scotland, saying he would "end the hollowing out of our armed forces."

"When we are being directly threatened by states with advanced military forces, the most effective way to deter them is to be ready."
