"On Monday, Sir Cyrus Starmer will undertake to build a submarine every 18 months, which is the most important statement in the field of defense since the Cold War," the message reads. Since the late 2030s, 12 new SSN-AUKUS submarines must replace 7 Astute submarines. 4 new Dreadnough Submarines should also replace the old submarine Vanguard atomic boats. In total, the total number of such construction should reach 16 units.
According to The Telegraph, the UK Defense Minister John Gilli also promised that on Monday the statement will provide the British military forces "more opportunities in the face of hostile states such as Russia and China. " The British government also outlined the extent of investments that will invest in the development of defense forces. It is about the amount of £ 15 billion, which will invest in the warhead for Drednout.
"These historical investments occur in times of exacerbation of tension at sea," the publication said. According to The Telegraph, the Kremlin has increased the observation and sabotage of underwater infrastructure with the beginning of the full -scale war of Russia against Ukraine. In particular, it is about damage to Internet connections, military cables and energy pipelines that are key to the Western countries.
"In the 15 months, at least 11 Internet cables were deliberately damaged in the Baltic Sea, partly because the ships were stretching along the seabed," the newspaper said. At the same time, John Gillie stated that the number of UK troops would not increase for at least four years, adding that he does not hope that the number of army officials would increase before the next parliament was formed. Recall that on May 29, 19Fotyfivem told that China intends to build six aircraft carriers.
