About this listen

Britains defence exports hit record high in 2025, with £20 billion worth of deals, including £10 billion frigates to Norway and £8 billion Eurofighter Typhoons to Turkey. These exports support 25,000 jobs and boost companies like BAE Systems and Babcock. Global threats and Europes re-armament drive demand, while the UK plans to lead in global defence exports in 2026. Despite a delayed defence investment plan, the sector thrives amid global tensions.
