Conservatives Promise £10bn Missile Shield Over 10 Years

The Conservatives would spend £10bn on a 'Britannia Shield' missile-defence system — weapons to shoot down incoming attacks — if they win the next general election. Leader Kemi Badenoch said funding would spread over 10 years. The party calls it a British version of Israel's 'Iron Dome'. Its credibility rests on whether future budgets keep the decade-long commitment.
