Is the UK about to get its own Iron Dome?

The Conservatives have announced a new multi-billion-pound ‘Iron Dome’ missile defence system if they win the next general election, which they say will protect Britain from missile and drone attacks.

The integrated system, dubbed the "Britannia Shield", would join up advanced radar, upgraded command and control systems, and new interceptor missiles and counter-drone capabilities to combat attacks from drones to long-range missiles.

Sky's Ali Fortescue reports.
