In 2025, the UK's defense export trade exceeded 20 billion.

The British government announced on the 27th that the UK's defense export transaction volume exceeded 20 billion pounds in 2025, reaching the highest level in over 40 years of records. The British government stated that this record-breaking export achievement is due to the conclusion of several major defense cooperation agreements. Among them, the UK signed a 10 billion pound agreement with Norway to build at least 5 Type 26 frigates for Norway, which is the largest naval export transaction in British history.
