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.

Sentencing is following the pattern of the 2011 Riots; this will stop those who are around the edges or who think it is a game. I think he is the first one I have seen sentenced for an offence under … (View Post)1 -

Sorry - another one needing context. I'd say the guy's a bullshit artist, which is I think why his allegation is not sourced in any way. That's a repeat of a claim made previously with… (View Post)3
