UK Defence Chief Warns of 'Most Dangerous Period' as Russian Incursions Surge to 2025 Annual Levels in First Five Months

According to BBC Today programme, on June 5, UK Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton warned the country faces its greatest security threat since the Cold War. Knighton revealed that Russian strategic aircraft incursions into UK airspace in the first five months of 2026 have matched the total number recorded throughout 2025, as Russia escalates military defenses and cyber attacks. He stressed that Britain must prepare for extended warfare, noting the country has historically focused on brief, localized conflicts but now requires readiness for prolonged wars such as Ukraine's ongoing conflict.
