UK's top military chief warns of a "third nuclear age" amid global nuclear threats.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the UK's Chief of Defence Staff, warns of a "third nuclear age" with rising global nuclear threats and a lack of past security measures. He notes Russia's nuclear posturing, China's arsenal expansion, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and North Korea's unpredictable actions. Despite these threats, Radakin states that a direct attack by Russia on the UK or NATO is unlikely, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong nuclear deterrent. He also highlights the need to rapidly build military strength in case of a crisis, warning that the UK Army could be depleted within six to twelve months in a major conflict.
