The UK, like much of Europe, is bulking up its defences and is building 12 new attack submarines to join its nuclear-powered fleet.

The new generation subs will be a model jointly developed by the UK, the U.S. and Australia.

However, the increase in defence capabilities comes at a cost and the government have not yet committed to further spending.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is still waiting for the UK Treasury to confirm if he will be allowed to spend a promised 3 percent of national income on beefing up the military.

NATO says it wants member countries to spend 3.5 percent of their GDP.
