This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.
I'm not sure where this laves the UK.
NATO’s effort to replace its ageing E-3A Sentry fleet has been upended after the United States pulled out of the alliance’s planned purchase of up to six Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, leaving the programme without a strategic or financial anchor, the UK Defence Journal understands.
The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

Is that walking back? I'd say that's obvious, and is just less than the scary fairy-stories in the meeja. (View Post)1 -

IME Trading Standards has been pithed, like the rest of Local Government. I do not think I have seen one that will even deal with the public for some years. (View Post)3 -
