The British Ministry of Defense said Friday that the UK and its European allies, including France, Germany, Italy, and Poland, will work together to develop new low-cost air defense weapons to protect the continent’s airspace.

British Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard said, “The UK and our partners in the Five Power alliance are intensifying efforts through joint investment in the next generation of air defense and autonomous systems to strengthen NATO’s defensive shield.”
