Ministers say network of 27 radar dishes in Pembrokeshire crucial to defend against ‘increasing belligerence in space’

The 27 radar dishes planned for the St Davids peninsula, which will be 20 metres high and can track objects as small as a football, are part of a network planned around the globe.
