Concerns are mounting that Russian President Vladimir Putin may target Britain as his military campaign in Ukraine struggles. During a parliamentary meeting, former NATO leader Lord Robertson cautioned that a 'cornered' Putin could lash out, with potential missile strikes or cyber attacks on the UK. This warning comes amid ongoing disputes over the Defence Investment Plan (DIP), which has yet to be finalized despite being ordered over a year ago. The government is reportedly considering a £15 billion funding package, which falls short of the £28 billion that defence officials deem necessary. Additionally, the Prime Minister is expected to announce £6 billion for the Global Combat Air Programme, a joint stealth fighter initiative with Italy and Japan. Meanwhile, the Ajax programme, a light tank project for the British Army, will receive £250 million more, bringing its total cost to over £1 billion. Defence Secretary Mr. Healey is set to promote a new approach favoring British-based companies in defence contracts, aiming to bolster the UK's industrial base and job market.
