The current geopolitical situation has led many European countries to invest in defence, and the United Kingdom has reinvested in its Navy.


London has chosen to modernise its war fleet with inflatable stealth boats for a "radical change" in naval combat.

The United Kingdom will introduce inflatable aircraft carriers as submarines into its arsenal, so the British Royal Navy should be strengthened by 300 ships, according to UK Defence. These inflatable stealth warships have been designed to allow rapid deployment and to be invisible to enemy troops' radars.

London confirmed last March its intention to raise its military spending to 2.5% of GDP within two years, as stated by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This is in line with the NATO target for all member states to increase their military spending.
