They also discuss the UK’s current Strategic Defence Review process implemented by the newly elected Labour government and what that means for the British Army in the context of broader geopolitical and strategic challenges in the European theatre.
Finally, they discuss the rapid proliferation of advanced technologies on battlefields in Ukraine and the Middle East and the role of innovation in shaping defence capabilities and delivering them at scale and quickly to our warfighters.
