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.

Disagree on that one, Malc :smile: . I paid a stonking IHT bill on inherited property, and I don't see why pension pots should be much different. (View Post)1 -

It's quite ironic that Musk was a big funder of the Bluesky Social project, which is slowly becoming a more serious alternative. Miles to go, though. (View Post)1
