Admiral Sir Tony Radakin stated that the war in Ukraine has shown the potential vulnerability of the United Kingdom before the attacks of rockets and UAVs, so it is necessary to discuss improvement of internal security. It was easy to approach the country with UAV. The commander of the army made such a statement at the DSEI defense industry in London. The United Kingdom needs to talk about integrated missile defense.
In practice, there was no need to test the current air defense systems, but it is believed that it was limited. In June, Sir Nick Carter, the armed forces eczeper says that the United Kingdom will have difficulty with numerous missile attacks or UAV attacks. The British Army of a system that could be compared to American Patriot or German Iris-T has 6 destroyers Type 45. Radakin's statement should be interpreted as an initial proposal for new defense costs.
In 2025, a new strategic defense review is expected to identify new priorities by the end of the decade. However, in addition to UAV and missile protection, Radakin proposes to create a Drone-Kamikadze unit based on Ukrainian experience. "What would it look like if you have a fleet of 500 ships, of which 400 are drones ?; What would it look like 1,000 aircraft but 900 were unmanned?" He asked, adding that the efficiency of the army could be changed with additional technologies.
