London, June 25 (LaPresse) – “In an age of radical uncertainty, we can no longer take peace for granted, and that is why my government is investing in our national security, ensuring that our Armed Forces have the equipment they need and that communities across the country reap the benefits of our defense dividend,” said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a statement. “Supporting 100 companies across the country and over 20,000 jobs, these dual-capability F35 aircraft will usher in a new era for our world-leading Royal Air Force and deter hostile threats against the United Kingdom and our allies,” he added. “The United Kingdom’s commitment to NATO is indisputable, as is the Alliance’s contribution to ensuring the UK’s security, but we must all step up to protect the Euro-Atlantic area for generations to come.”
