US EditionSir Keir Starmer hails new British 'StormShroud' drones coming into operation
- The UK Royal Air Force introduced the StormShroud drone on May 3, 2025, to support Typhoon and F-35B pilots with electronic warfare capabilities.
- The drone's development draws on insights from Ukraine’s drone warfare and addresses rising threats from Russian and Iranian ground defenses.
- StormShroud integrates the BriteStorm signal jammer, disrupting enemy radar to protect warplanes and allow unseen attacks, freeing crews for other missions.
- The RAF's initial £19 million investment in StormShroud is part of Tekever's £400 million UK-wide plan to create up to 1,000 skilled jobs in defence technology.
- This advancement enhances UK defence by improving aircraft survivability and demonstrates ongoing government commitment to national and allied security.
