Story summary

The Conservative Party announced plans at their conference on Tuesday to create a £10bn "Britannia Shield," inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome, aimed at protecting Britain from missile and drone attacks. The system will include advanced radar systems, command and control capabilities, interceptor missiles, and counter-drone technology over 10 years. Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge described it as the most significant upgrade to UK air defence in generations. However, critics argue that a direct comparison to Israel's Iron Dome is misleading since Britain faces different threats and geographic challenges than Israel. The Labour Party has questioned whether £10bn would be sufficient for such an extensive system, while some former Labour officials support the proposal, citing growing global tensions. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting accused the Conservatives of having an "abysmal record" in defending Britain during their previous 14 years in power.
