Britain is boosting its defence spending. Hello, this is the Marketplace Morning Report and we're

live from the BBC World Service. I'm Leanna Byrne. Good morning. So the UK government is preparing to ramp

up its military spending, upping it to 2.5% of its economic output by 2027. It means billions more

is going to be spent on nuclear weapons and 12 new

attacks on marines will be built. But despite the increase, President Trump and NATO leaders

would like to see more, the BBC's. Jonathan Beale met NATO troops in Estonia.

The war in Ukraine's shaken Europe from a peacetime slumber.

Nowhere more than in Estonia, close to the Russian border.

There were some reconnaissance elements that get in contact there.

But you can see.

No, under the canopy, nowhere.

Here, battle-hardened Ukrainians are helping train NATO forces in the skills of drone warfare.

Estonian troops eager to learn, worried they could be next.

Lieutenant Colonel Madis Luce of Estonia's army.

We need to fight today, tomorrow.

So things that work currently in Ukraine, we need to know how to exploit

all these. The UK government's defence review aims to meet the rising threats. British troops

here in Estonia are also learning the lessons from Ukraine in a command post testing new technologies to find targets

faster.

The head of the British Army says these British troops must be ready to fight a war within

two years.

Do you think you'd be ready or do you think you're ready now?
