Original: Britain sets out offensive and defensive space operations with £880 million committed to military intelligence and space control
The United Kingdom has announced plans for both offensive and defensive space operations, committing £880 million to military intelligence and space control capabilities. The strategy signals an expanded UK military posture in orbit, covering satellites and related space assets. It reflects growing concern among Western governments about threats to space infrastructure and the need to counter potential adversaries in that domain.
Why now: Britain's new funding for offensive and defensive space warfare capabilities marks a significant escalation in its defence policy.
