UK's deputy chief of defence staff, lieutenant general Sir Rob Macgowan, says the country would run out of ammunition and supplies within months if war broke out with Russia. Defence minister Grant Shapps assures UK would fight alongside NATO allies, collectively stronger against Russia. PM Rishi Sunak highlights the need to improve defense production, a concern shared with European allies. UK's defense spending projected at 2.3% of GDP, aiming for 2.5% when possible, despite calls for increased budget allocation.
