London | Britain will build roughly a dozen new attack submarines as it moves to a state of “war-fighting readiness”, Sir Keir Starmer will say later Monday, as he begins what he claims will be a major rearmament program.
The UK prime minister, speaking at the launch of a long-awaited strategic defence review, will promise major investment in submarines, long-range missiles, cyber defence and £1.5 billion ($3.1 billion) on at least six new munitions factories.
