LONDON: Britain said on Tuesday it would strengthen the army’s long-range capabilities by spending £190 million ($254.22 million) on the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) program, buying a weapon which can neutralize targets up to 500 kilometers away.
The country’s outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer is at the NATO summit in Ankara on Tuesday, where he wants to convince US President Donald Trump and other countries in the western military alliance that UK defense spending is heading in the right direction.
