The UK Defence Journal is an independent defence industry military news website[2][3] that provides defence news and commentary on the defence industry and military of the United Kingdom[4][5]. The website has been decribed as a defence fact-checking group run by volunteers[6].
The website is one of the most read defence news websites in the United Kingdom [7] and publishes news and opinion pieces on topics relevent to UK[8][9] and Scottish[2] defence matters and has also made an effort to counter misinformation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic[10][11].
