The UK has secured a £10bn deal to supply the Norwegian navy with at least five new warships, BBC reported.

The agreement to provide Type 26 frigates will be the UK's "biggest ever warship export deal by value", the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said, while Norway said it would be its largest "defence capability investment" to date. 

The government said the deal would support 4,000 UK jobs "well into the 2030s", including more than 2,000 at BAE Systems' Glasgow shipyards where the frigates will be built, according to BBC.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the agreement would "drive growth and protect national security for working people".
