在土耳其安卡拉举行的北约峰会上，包括英国在内的 12 个北约盟国共同宣布启动名为“深度精确打击”（Deep Precision Strike）的新武器研发项目 [1]。该计划旨在未来 10 年内投入超过 370 亿英镑用于新型远程导弹的研发工作 [1]。
这一新武器的设计目标是具备在约 200 英里（近 300 公里）外打击目标的能力，其射程甚至可能延伸至更远距离 [1]。英国首相斯塔默在峰会上积极推动此项倡议，强调此举将加强欧洲内部的团结以及北约整体的安全态势 [1]。
背景方面，相关报道指出俄罗斯军事活动数据显著上升：在北约领空内拦截的俄罗斯飞机超过 700 次，且在英国水域附近的俄军活动激增了 30% [1]。此外，英国国防承诺到 2030 年已落实价值 3000 亿英镑的投资计划以支持此类安全需求 [1]。
Twelve NATO allies, including the United Kingdom, have announced plans to launch a new initiative titled "Deep Precision Strike." The alliance intends to invest more than £37 billion ($50 billion) in developing advanced long-range missiles over the next decade [1]. This weapon system is designed with strike capabilities reaching nearly 200 miles (approximately 300 km), potentially extending up to 1,250 miles away from its launch point [1]. The project aims to bolster European defense and deter Russia [1].
The initiative was championed by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey [1]. During his address, Starmer emphasized the need for greater unity within Europe and enhanced overall security across the alliance [1]. This commitment aligns with the United Kingdom's broader defense strategy, which includes a pledge to invest £300 billion in national defense by 2030 [1].
The decision comes amid rising military tensions involving Russia. Recent data indicates that NATO forces have intercepted Russian aircraft more than 700 times since February of this year [1]. Additionally, activity from the Russian military near British waters has surged by approximately 30% compared to previous levels [1].
