Britain Announces £1.1 billion In Defense Spending To Fight Terrorists and Cyber Attacks

A huge investment is to be made in Britain's military to fight its "unseen enemies", including cyber attacks and terrorism.  Prime Minister David Cameron will announce the £1.1 billion package of investment in military capabilities, such as drones, at the first day of the Farnborough Air Show today.

Writing in The Daily Telegraph, he insisted Britain "cannot defend the realm from the white cliffs of Dover". He wrote: "Today's investment demonstrates our approach to national security. There are those who believe we would be safer if we fundamentally retreated from the world.

"They see new warships and military investment and imagine a government bent on foreign adventurism.
