The UK Defence Journal is a website covering defence industry news in the United Kingdom.[1][2][3][4] In addition to news content, the site also offers commentary and analysis of military topics ranging from national security policy to procurement decisions.[5] The website previously published a monthly magazine of the same name containing news and analysis about the British Armed Forces.[6]
Reporting
[edit]In 2016 the website published photos of all the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyer fleet in port at the same time which prompted Sky News to investigate Britain’s naval preparedness.[7]
In July 2021, the website reported that a user leaked classified documents relating to the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank in service with the British Army when challenging the representation of the vehicle in the videogame War Thunder.[8]
In August 2022, the website was the first to break the news about the breakdown of HMS Prince of Wales, a British aircraft carrier, on the first day of the ship's deployment to the United States.[9]
