UK successfully tests new SPEAR cruise missile from Typhoon fighter jet

The U.K. has successfully tested a new cruise missile called SPEAR, launched from a Typhoon fighter jet in Sweden. This missile is designed for precision strikes against land and sea targets and can operate in various conditions. SPEAR is a next-generation weapon with a range of about 100 kilometers. It is intended to enhance the capabilities of the U.K.'s Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, allowing them to engage moving targets while staying outside enemy air defenses. The development comes amid increasing military tensions, with countries like Russia, China, and North Korea advancing their weaponry. The U.K. aims to bolster its defense spending and capabilities in response to these global threats.
