A recent investigation by The Sunday Times highlights vulnerabilities in the UK's defense systems, indicating that British cities and military outposts could face attacks from anywhere within the next 15 years. The investigation raises alarms about gaps in the UK's ballistic missile defense capabilities, with specific concerns regarding the Navy's readiness against threats from groups such as the Houthis.
