Regatul Unit va investi 8,4 miliarde de lire sterline în dezvoltarea noilor submarine nucleare, anunță premierul Burnham

The UK government plans to invest £8.4 billion in the Dreadnought-class nuclear submarine program, as announced by Prime Minister Andy Burnham. This investment is part of a broader strategy to enhance defense spending and nuclear deterrent capabilities. The new submarines will replace the aging Vanguard-class fleet and are expected to be operational by the 2030s. The overall nuclear defense program aims to maintain existing capabilities and create thousands of jobs, with a target of 65,000 jobs by 2030. The government also faces challenges in meeting NATO defense spending commitments.
