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.

I'm quite surprised that that was deemed material, because even for the closest houses it is still only 5% of the distance - the nearest house being 15m away on the other side of the entrance dr… (View Post)1 -

I quite like the first quote from the Parliamentary Chef who has survived 15 Prime Ministers: “Can I have more pork please?” That man will go far in retirement; he understands. https://www.bbc.co.uk/… (View Post)1
