British Military Technology - Still got it? | A look at U.K. Military Technology

The United Kingdom may no longer be the imperial juggernaut it once was — but when it comes to defence manufacturing, Britain is still producing some of the most capable and combat-proven military systems on the planet.

In this episode we’re taking a deep dive into Britain’s most effective military equipment in 2025. From battle-tested tanks and elite missile systems to world-class naval platforms and future-facing defence tech, we’re looking at what the UK brings to the battlefield — and what’s coming next.

In this video, we cover:

The NLAW anti-tank weapon co-produced with Sweden and its battlefield success in Ukraine

The CAMM/Sea Ceptor missile system and Sky Sabre, Britain’s air defence answer to ESSM

The Challenger 2 and upcoming Challenger 3 main battle tanks

The Eurofighter Typhoon, Britain's premier fast jet, and its competitive edge over the F-35 in certain roles

Helicopters made in Yeovil like the AW159 Wildcat and AW101 Merlin

The long-delayed but now delivered Ajax IFV, built in South Wales

A tribute to the Warrior AFV, which served many of us personally

British-built missile systems like Storm Shadow, Brimstone, Meteor, and SPEAR 3

The mighty Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, Type 45 destroyers, and Astute-class submarines

And upcoming tech like the Gravehawk air defence, and DragonFire laser weapon

The UK defence industry still exports over £8.5 billion worth of arms annually — from Typhoons and naval systems to parts for the F-35 and anti-tank weapons. Export partners like Qatar, Italy, Poland, and Sweden show that British kit remains highly valued around the world.

We also break down real-world combat results from Ukraine and how British-made systems have outperformed expectations on the front line. Whether it’s mobility, survivability, or precision strike capability — Britain still delivers.
