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.

On topic, I think this could be very interesting for New York, and potentially a hinge point for North America. Mandami will be taking his models from places like London and Paris, and I'm not aware … (View Post)3 -

Have we seen any blow by blow analysis about this yet from anywhere authoritative? We had the Telegraph this morning, and GBN asserting the allegations as sins of commission on the part of the BBC. T… (View Post)1
