Britain could be hit by ballistic missiles launched from anywhere in the world in the next 15 years, a Sunday Times investigation reveals. Advances in technology have seen ballistic missiles deployed in the Ukrainian wars and conflict in the Middle East, exposing the UK’s own shortcomings in terms of missile defence. The investigation revealed concerns among politicians, military personnel and experts that the UK’s air defence technology is aging, limited, and at risk of becoming insufficient as missiles become more advanced.

Vulnerabilities were identified during an audit conducted by NATO experts. “The reason the UK has a very fragile air defense is because for 30 years no one thought it would be needed. The events in Ukraine and Israel say the opposite. People don't thi…
