UK government to spend £1.5bn on six new weapons factories

The report, to be unveiled on Monday, is expected to conclude the UK faces a "new era of threat" and will warn of the "immediate and pressing" danger posed by Russia and other countries, including China. The threat posed by Moscow has been a key part of the government's pitch ahead of Monday's review, which has assessed the capabilities and equipment that would be needed by the UK's armed forces in the coming years. In the run-up to Monday's announcement, the government has already confirmed the review will recommend a new "cyber and electromagnetic command" to lead the UK's defensive cyber operations.
