About this report
The Strategic Defence Review 2025 marks a turning point in the UK’s defence and industrial policy. Framed by a context of geopolitical volatility, intensified military competition, and renewed commitments to NATO, the review sets out a radical transformation of British defence posture, doctrine, and capabilities.
At the centre of this transformation lies an ambitious financial pledge: the government will increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, with the stated ambition to reach 3% in the following Parliament.
