Westminster is braced for the impact of the government's latest “strategic defense review” — a major piece of work attempting to identify the biggest threats facing the U.K. and how to meet them.
The report is expected to devote more than £1 billion to technology for quicker strategic decisions, as well as distilling the military lessons of the war in Ukraine.
