UK Conservatives propose £10bn 'Britannia Shield' air defense system

The UK Conservative Party will propose a £10bn 'Britannia Shield' air and missile defense system, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, at its conference. The proposal, announced by shadow defense secretary James Cartlidge, calls for investment in advanced radar and interceptor missiles. This is a policy proposal ahead of an election, not a funded program, and its feasibility and cost are uncertain.
