UK preparing new plan to ready nation for war

The UK is updating its Government War Book, preparing various sectors for potential war, according to Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton. The new plan draws from Cold War lessons but adapts to modern society and infrastructure. He noted that threats to seize vessels linked to Russia's "shadow fleet" are already deterring trips to UK waters.

Knighton emphasized the need for a well-funded defence investment plan to boost military readiness. The plan is delayed, causing uncertainty in the defence industry. He asserted that civilians must recognize growing threats and support national resilience against adversaries.
