This pragmatism and sense of urgency is at the front of minds, but we have more to do. There are still gaps in our defence capabilities. NATO allies and EU member states need more fighter jets, air-to-air refuellers, ships and submarines, air defence and missile defence, drones and counter-drone systems. The support we are sending to Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East have put extra pressure on military stockpiles, including interceptors and anti-drone capabilities. Our current production capacity can’t keep up with demand.
