UK Must Be Ready For War In 1,000 Days, Defence Secretary Warns

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has warned that Britain must be prepared for war within 1,000 days. Speaking at the U.K. Space Power Conference 2026, Streeting stated that enemies, particularly Russia, could attack the UK by 2030 as hybrid warfare against Nato increases. He emphasised that his defining priority is ensuring the country can fight and win. To prevent conflict, he argues that expanding capabilities is essential to deter adversaries from launching an attack against the nation.
