🛡️🇬🇧 UK CONSERVATIVES UNVEIL £10B "BRITANNIA SHIELD": Britain's Conservative Party has proposed a £10 billion integrated air and missile defense system dubbed the "Britannia Shield," modeled on Israel's Iron Dome, to be funded over a decade. The plan would combine advanced radar, upgraded command-and-control systems, interceptor missiles and counter-drone technology. Shadow Defense Secretary James Cartlidge said the shield would protect military bases, critical infrastructure and UK overseas territories. The party aims to deliver a minimum deployable capability within the first five years of a Conservative government, with expanded capability and larger missile stockpiles over the following five.
