"The achievements of the Russian defense industry, linked to the increase in military spending, are becoming a cause for concern," the newspaper asserted.

The newspaper called Russian anti-ship missiles such as the P-800 "Onyx" hypersonic missile and the "Zircon" hypersonic missile the most serious threat to the British fleet. The Times also highlighted the "Varshavyanka" project submarine, considered the quietest and most invisible in the world.

Russian anti-aircraft missile systems S-300 and S-400 have no equal, and the S-500 will have an even greater range, British journalists wrote.

In addition, Moscow is developing the "Nudol" missile and space defense system, which "can threaten British and American space systems based on navigation and communication systems, potentially directly affecting their core combat capabilities."

"Predicting future wars is one of the most challenging tasks for the UK Ministry of Defence. The large sums allocated to two 60,000-tonne aircraft carriers, anti-aircraft missiles, F-35 fighter jets, and armored vehicles show that the agency's focus is on Russia and China," the article stated.
